More than 43,000 people were booked into Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention in June, marking the highest monthly total since President Donald Trump returned to office, according to newly released ICE data reported by CBS News.
The report said the average daily detention population rose to about 59,400 in June and exceeded 65,600 during the first 11 days of July.
Administration officials, including Border Czar Tom Homan, said immigration enforcement operations will continue despite heightened scrutiny following two fatal ICE-related shootings earlier this month.
According to the report, people without criminal records accounted for the largest increase in the detention population.
ICE data showed the number of non-criminal detainees rose more rapidly than those with criminal convictions or pending charges. Homan maintained that the majority of those arrested have criminal backgrounds, citing combined totals for convictions and pending criminal cases.
