As of February 7, 2026, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in the United States had 68,289 people in detention. This reflected a decrease from a previous peak of 70,766 detainees on January 25, 2025, highest number recorded over the observed period. Since the start of President Donald Trump's second term in January 2025, the number of detainees in ICE custody has grown rapidly.
