illegal migrants held in detention – 66,000. The previous record was set during President Donald Trump’s first administration – 56,000 people in 2019, according to CBS News. There were about 39,000 individuals in ICE’s detention system when Trump returned to power in January, and ICE has the capacity to hold as many as 70,000 people, the news outlet reported. America is on pace to deport 600,000 illegal immigrants this year.
