More than 2024 and 2025 combined: Which state has recorded the most ICE arrests of immigrants in 2026?

According to a report published on Tuesday by the Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition (MIRC), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained more immigrants in Maine between January and July 2026 than during the combined years of 2024 and 2025.
