Under President Trump’s previous terms, ICE issued at least 50% more detainers during the 2017 to 2020 fiscal years than under President Joe Biden’s administration, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse — although the number of detainers has continually risen under Biden.
The Trump administration also previously prioritized deporting undocumented immigrants for the least serious Level 3 misdemeanor convictions as opposed to Level 1 crime convictions. Trump had a proportion of 52% of detainers issued for Level 3 convictions than Biden at 45%, a TRAC analysis of ICE records show.
