When President Trump took office, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement held approximately 40,000 people in immigration detention. By the middle of December, that number had risen by almost 75 percent to over 68,000—the highest level in history. Yet this is just the start for the Trump administration, which according to leaked plans, hoped to have nearly 108,000 immigration detention beds online by January 2026 as part of its “mass deportation” agenda. With ICE newly flush with $45 billion from Congress to expand detention, America’s system of immigration detention is growing more opaque and more inhumane by the day.
A new American Immigration Council report on Trump’s first year of mass detention breaks down not only the changes in who is being sent to detention, but also the ways in which the rapid expansion of detention, elimination of oversight, and changes in detention policy have led to worsening conditions and people giving up their immigration cases. Join Council Policy Director Nayna Gupta and Senior Fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick to learn more about the report, and hear from Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) about his work to conduct oversight over ICE detention, and from Marcelo Gomes, a Boston teen who was detained by ICE and came out of his experience with a passion to educate the world about what he went through.
