The Bottom Line

The Guardian is tracking ICE and CBP data on arrests, detentions, and deportations since President Trump's inauguration.

AI Summary

The Guardian has reviewed and is tracking figures from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding arrests, detentions, and deportations in the US. This analysis covers data since President Trump's inauguration, focusing on how his administration has reshaped immigration enforcement. The Guardian is using data published bi-weekly by ICE to monitor the number of individuals arrested, detained, and deported under the current administration.
