ICE detentions hit record 65K amid historic deportation pace

[Starmix]

According to the report, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is holding more than 65,000 migrants, marking a record high for the agency, according to a report by The Washington Times. Arrests and deportations are also at historic levels, with ICE averaging nearly 1,200 arrests and more than 1,250 deportations per day since October 1, 2025.

The report also stated that the ICE needs to ramp it up, remove these illegal migrants, and deport them. They cause chaos and crimes in the USA.

The report also said that ICE’s surge comes as part of the fiscal year update following delays caused by the government shutdown. From October 1 to November 15, ICE recorded 54,735 book-ins, while Customs and Border Protection logged 7,066.

In addition to the report, the administration aims to reach 1 million removals annually, with McLaughlin noting that an estimated 1.6 million undocumented immigrants have returned home voluntarily.

Despite criticism from immigrant rights groups, a Harvard CAPS-Harris survey shows that 54 percent of Americans support deporting all undocumented immigrants, rising to 79 percent for those with criminal records.

The information is interesting, though it also raises some concerns. The record number of migrants detained and the high numbers of arrests and deportations reflect a stricter immigration policy in the U.S. Undoubtedly, order must be maintained and security ensured, but it's also important to remember that many people are seeking better opportunities or fleeing difficult situations in their countries. The social and political pressure surrounding this issue is strong, and it seems the administration is prioritizing deportations to meet specific goals. However, human rights and the impact on communities must also be considered. I hope that, amidst these figures, a balance can be struck that allows for orderly and humane migration, respecting both the law and human dignity. It's a complex issue that requires careful planning and social sensitivity.

Those illegal people must be, of course, out of the USA. They might be killers, kidnappers, or arsonists. The ICE officers are only doing their jobs.
