Public backlash against ICE climaxed after the January 2026 fatal shootings of two US citizens in Minneapolis. Since then, stealthier arrest operations have fueled enforcement that is quieter but just as ruthless. The 24 hours between the mornings of July 13-14 stand out as exceptionally deadly. 🧵
Blood is seen on the pavement near the scene of a shooting involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Monday, July 13, 2026 in Biddeford, Maine.

The arrests often happen fast, said Gracie Willis of the @nipnlg.bsky.social. “The detentions are happening in a flash – we’re talking, like, 90 seconds from the time ICE shows up to that person being driven away,” Willis said. “And often they are moving very quietly, with very soft feet.”

Many are detained by local police working with ICE – so it's unclear what's a traffic stop, and what's an immigration arrest.

ICE arrests are at a record high. People have been arrested while pumping gas, leaving behind their empty cars. They are arrested on their way to work, or while taking out the trash.

Two charts side by side. The first shows the number of pregnant people in ICE detention, which peaks in November 2025. The second shows the number of miscarriages recorded by ICE, until October 2025, when ICE said it has no updated information on the number of miscarriages.

We used data extracted from I-213 forms, which immigration agents fill each time they arrest someone alleging they are in the country without authorization. These numbers are likely an underestimate bc agents don't always ask about kids. And parents sometimes don't disclose they have kids.
During the first seven months of 2025, the administration arrested 18,400 parents – including 15,000 fathers and 3,000 mothers. They are the parents of 27,000 to 32,000 children.

The administration arrested the parents of at least 12,000 US citizen children.

Nearly 7,500 fathers and 1,000 mothers who were arrested had a different nationality than at least one of their children. In about half of these families, siblings had different citizenships from each other.

On average, the Trump administration has been arresting about 2,300 parents each month and deporting 1,400 parents every month. The Biden administration, in comparison, deported about 700 per month in 2024.
