Nearly one in three people in ICE detention being held in Texas
Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers in Texas are holding more immigrants than those in any other state, newly released data show. Of the nearly 39,000 people detained nationwide by ICE as of Feb. 8, a total of 12,259 were being held in the Lone Star State, according to information from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). That's just shy of a third of the federal agency's total number of people in detention.
