Immigration Crackdown Powered 25-Year High in Federal Arrests
By TCR Staff


According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse, the incoming administration of President Joe Biden faced a backlog of nearly 1.3 million immigration cases―some two and half times the number registered when Trump took office in January 2017. By year’s end, 372,354 individuals were under federal correctional control. The majority (60 percent) were held in prisons, and the remainder were under community supervision.
