ICE and Hestafo arrest tracker here [updated as of March 8, 2025]

Resistance to deliberate dehumanization

“I thought they were going to be targeting criminals. No one mentioned during the campaigning of Donald Trump that residents … legal residents … were going to have to go through this,” said Estefany Peña, 30, from Lincoln, California, who supported Trump for reelection. Her husband, who came to the country legally in 1999 and has a green card, went to an immigration office in San Francisco for a check-in in late January and still hasn’t come home, she said. “Everything just came crumbling down” when immigration officers wouldn’t let her husband leave. Cal Matters, Feb. 11

ICE and The Hestafo [Homeland Security Task Forces] have been unleashed. They've boasted that they've deported nearly 40,000 people during Trump's first month in office. The daily data on the ICE sites appear to be current only through Jan. 31. The official figures don't reconcile. The 37,660 people that ICE and Hestafo claim to have been deported, Reuters reported on Feb. 22, are below the monthly average of 57,000 removals in the last full year of Biden's administration.




DHS Seeks to Deputize IRS Officers to Help With Deportation Effort, according to The Wall St. Journal, Feb. 10, 2025
ICE posts immigration raid info, photos and tweets regularly on X and Instagram, 
but it doesn't disclose how many of those arrested are released, remain in detention, 
have been deported or how many are undocumented or have criminal records. 
The data stopped being current on Jan. 31. The sites showcase photos of raids and ID by name those it calls "The Worst First." 
They include the two at the bottom of this page, one for overstayingthe terms of his admission to the US, one for firearm possession and another for assault. 
In his remarks to CPAC 2025, Border Czar Tom Homan clarified what Worst First means to him: 
"But you arrested non-criminals. Yah, damn right we did because you happen to be in our country illegally ,
which happens to be a violation of our law. Entering this country illegally is a crime and we're not gonna forgive it."
You can find ongoing coverage of immigrant raids from 2025 by location here [Note: some of the info in the stories is provided by ICE & Hestafo to show how successful their operations are. That info is seldom verifiable.]
