Where ICE Takes People—And Where They Send Them Next | On The Grid | WIRED

Immigration enforcement has become a dominant theme of the second Trump administration. Since January 2025, Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested over 100,000 people—doubling the pace of the final year of Joe Biden’s presidency. WIRED reporter Vittoria Elliott tracked where the most migrants are being arrested, where exactly ICE is taking them, and where they’re deported to. This is Immigration & Customs Enforcement, On The Grid.
