Summary

Despite Trump’s pledge to deport all detained migrants, some arrested in recent crackdowns have been released due to ICE detention space limits and federal court restrictions.

Those released are monitored through Alternatives to Detention, which includes ankle monitors and check-ins.

ICE prioritizes detaining individuals deemed public safety threats, while others—such as Venezuelans who couldn’t be deported—were considered for release.

Trump recently announced Venezuela will now accept deportees. ICE is exploring expanding monitoring programs to manage capacity challenges.
