Detentions of immigrants without criminal histories in the United States have risen sharply since May 2025 amid an expanded immigration enforcement push by the Biden administration. Data from the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reveal that nearly 70% of immigrants detained in Los Angeles lack criminal convictions, and almost half of those detained nationwide in June had no criminal charges. While ICE arrests reached approximately 30,000 in June—the highest monthly total since 2020—deportations lag behind, with about 18,000 individuals deported that month. The average monthly deportations under the current administration stand at 14,700, significantly below the Obama administration's peak of 36,000 per month in 2013. Of the estimated 100,000 people deported between January and June 2025, 70,583 were convicted criminals, but most infractions were minor. Only about 8% of detainees have violent convictions. The data contrasts with former President Donald Trump's rhetoric emphasizing the detention of murderers and rapists. Human rights concerns have also been raised regarding the treatment of detainees, including reports from Florida where immigrants were reportedly forced to kneel to eat. The situation has prompted calls for comprehensive immigration reform to balance the needs of citizens and non-citizens amid ongoing enforcement actions.
