ICE Arrests In Florida Nearly Triple As National Enforcement Surges
The Deportation Data Project's map shows Texas monthly arrests climbing to 10,331, the nation's highest, while August alone brought nearly 51,000 nationwide.
- The Deportation Data Project (UC Berkeley Law)'s nine-month analysis found Texas ICE arrests rose from 5,787 to 10,331 between July 2025 and 2026.
- The analysis is titled "Immigration Enforcement in the First Nine Months of the Second Trump Administration."
- Florida's monthly arrests jumped from 1,938 to 5,501, a 184% rise, the steepest of any state.
Why it matters: A state's numbers move because its sheriffs signed a cooperation agreement, not because Washington sent more agents.
