Migrants Released as ICE Detention Facilities Go Over Capacity

Overcapacity at detention centers has caused U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release some migrant detainees, CBS News reported, citing internal government statistics.

ICE detention facilities were at 109% capacity, with the agency holding close to 42,000 migrant detainees, despite having on paper a 38,521-bed capacity in its network of for-profit prisons and county jails, according to internal Department of Homeland Security data obtained by CBS News.

ICE released 160 migrants from custody Monday due to the overcrowding. Those released are fitted with ankle monitors, CBS News said.
