A record 71,000 people were held in immigration detention centers across the United States last month.

That’s according to the most recent statistics released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. There were around 40,000 at the beginning of the Trump administration.

Of the current detainees, 74% have no criminal conviction — and almost half have never even been charged.

The administration has come under increased scrutiny for its immigration operations in Minneapolis, following the killings of two American citizens by federal agents. In response, border czar Tom Homan has said these are highly targeted operations, seeking out criminals.

Immigrant rights’ advocates say the operations are casting wide nets and racially profiling people with no records.
