ICE enforcement & detention
Verified federal updates on ICE interior arrests, detention and removals—plus clearly separated CBP enforcement at airports and other ports of entry.
Latest official ICE snapshot
The newest nationwide ICE arrest totals currently displayed in ICE’s public annual report are for fiscal year 2024. The separate ICE dashboard says its arrest, detention, removal and alternatives-to-detention data cover activity through December 31, 2024 and are published one quarter in arrears. Later official corrections can replace earlier figures.

A visual example of ICE enforcement activity
Source and context: “Weekly ICE Video — Making America Safe Again,” released by DHS and dated April 7, 2025. This agency-produced video is included as a visual example only. It is not independent reporting and does not establish current national, airport, detention or city-level totals. View the original DHS record, description and download information ↗
Airports and ports of entry
Airport immigration inspections are generally conducted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations, not ICE ERO. ICE may make an arrest at or near an airport, but an isolated agency release does not establish a citywide or national trend. This page will report airport developments only when ICE, DHS or CBP publishes a dated official release or dataset.
For context, CBP’s official “Typical Day” summary for fiscal year 2024 reports approximate daily averages of 86 wanted-person arrests at U.S. ports of entry and 49 between ports of entry. Those figures cover all ports of entry—not airports alone—and should not be read as ICE arrests.

City, field-office and detention searches
ICE’s public arrest dashboard groups geography by 25 Enforcement and Removal Operations areas of responsibility, which can cover multiple cities and states. We will publish a “most arrests” or “most detention” ranking only when a current official dataset provides comparable geographic totals. Individual news releases are examples, not a complete ranking.

Editorial standard: U.S. Immigration Brief does not publish rumors, crowd-sourced raid maps, operationally sensitive live tracking, or names of arrested individuals. Figures above are transcribed from linked federal sources and were last checked August 13, 2026. No newer comparable ICE or CBP dataset was identified in this review.
