President Donald Trump’s immigration detentions ticked down after a fast start in his first few days in office.

Federal immigration officials plan to open the first new immigrant detention center of President Donald Trump’s second term in Newark, New Jersey, officials said.

The number of immigrants held in detention under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has hit the highest level in more than five years, new data show. Why it matters: The detention surge comes as the Trump administration steps up immigration enforcement and seeks to expand the capacity to detain more immigrants amid a months-long backlog with immigration judges.
