Q&A of the Day – Illegal Immigrants Arrested by ICE in Florida
By Brian Mudd


According to Syracuse University's ongoing TRAC (Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse) Immigration program, 36.9% of ICE detainees, those that are retained at detention facilities across the country, have criminal records. In Florida specifically, ICE enforcement action has dropped by almost exactly 75% since the onset of the Biden administration which is likely a reason why you don’t come across stories, like the recently arrested 18 illegal immigrants, perhaps as often as you used to. In fact, Florida’s no longer a top five state for enforcement action. The top five are currently Texas, Louisiana, California, Arizona and Georgia in that order. And part of that reason is due to what ICE calls an “Alternative to Detention” monitoring program.
