ICE arrests also target immigrants with no criminal history, a growing number of whom have been deported after their arrest

The number of immigrants with no criminal history deported after an ICE arrest in Wisconsin surged in June 2025. Though ICE arrest data suggests that arrests of immigrants with no criminal histories previously outnumbered arrests of immigrants with convictions or pending charges, those figures may reflect check-ins at ICE field offices recorded as "arrests" that did not result in detention or deportation. In 2025, the average gap between arrest and deportation for immigrants with no criminal history apprehended in Wisconsin was 25 days.
