Table 1: Number leaving ICE detention
from this facility

During the most recent 12 month period for which data are available, 5 detainees house at the Comfort Suites Hotel left that facility because they were deported, were released under supervision while their cases was being decided, or left ICE detention for one of a variety of other reasons.

This report focuses on just those individuals who actually left ICE detention. Sometimes this report speaks of these individuals as those "exiting" ICE detention, or simply as "exits." This does not include individuals who were transferred to a different ICE detention facility. For more information on this facility, including individuals that were transferred, see additional TRAC reports in this series.

This report series is based upon analyses conducted by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University of 3.4 million government records tracking each individual who passed through an ICE detention facility during the past decade. The most recent 12 month period for which comprehensive data are available is for April 2007 through March 2008. See About the Data.

As is readily apparent, considerable variation has occurred over time in both the overall numbers of detainees as well as the volume leaving ICE detention during this period.

Exit trends are also summarized by fiscal year in Table 2. Year-by-year figures for the Comfort Suites Hotel are given for the total number of detainees as compared with those leaving ICE detention from the facility. The percent of detainees that left ICE detention is also given. (As mentioned above, the remaining detainees were transferred to another ICE detention facility.) Because data for all twelve months of the most recent fiscal year are not yet available, the FY 2008 numbers (October 2007 through September 2008) are estimated based upon reporting for the first six months.
