flag ICE made 17,500 at-large arrests in September 2025, the highest since 2011, under a new push to deport 1 million people.

flag A surge in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at-large arrests—individuals detained in homes, workplaces, or public spaces—has occurred under the Trump administration, with 17,500 such arrests in September 2025, the highest monthly total since 2011. flag This marks a significant shift from past practices focused on immigrants already in local custody, driven by sanctuary policies limiting local cooperation. flag Between June and mid-October, at-large arrests totaled 67,800, more than double the previous five-month high. flag Despite claims that most detainees have criminal records, data shows only 36% had convictions and 30% had pending charges. flag The administration aims to deport 1 million people in its first year, though daily arrest numbers have not met the 3,000-per-day target, peaking at just over 1,900. flag Critics say the strategy is less targeted, resource-intensive, and raises concerns about public safety and civil rights.
