Transfers of ICE Detainees from the
Newark Immigration Holding Room
Newark, New Jersey
Table 1: Transfers
During the most recent 12 month period for which data are available, one detainee was
recorded as transferred by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from the Newark Immigration Holding Room.
This is a special ICE holding area or staging location that under current ICE detention standards is
allowed to temporarily house aliens for up to 12 or 16 hours. These types of units generally have
no sleeping quarters or shower facilities.
A detainee leaves an ICE detention facility for one of many reasons. The individual may be simply
transferred to a different ICE detention facility. Or the individual may actually leave ICE detention
because they were deported, released under supervision while their cases were being decided, or leave for other reasons.
This report summarizes transfers from the Newark Immigration Holding Room. For more information on this facility please 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.

Transfer trends for the last decade are summarized by fiscal year in Table 2. Year-by-year figures for the Newark Immigration Holding Room
are given for the total number of detainees as compared with the number transferred from the facility.
The percent of detainees that end up being transferred from the facility is also given. (As mentioned
above, the remaining detainees end up deported, released under supervision, or leave ICE detention
for some other reason.) 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.
