About these numbers

"Held per day" is the average number of people in custody here each day, computed from ICE's own individual records (names removed) that the Deportation Data Project obtained through FOIA litigation. They run through Aug 5, 2026. A stay counts the time at this facility only; people are often transferred. Shares and averages based on fewer than 10 people are not shown. How we count
