Broadview provides an example of how ICE custody does not equal ICE detention.
People held by ICE in hold rooms, hospitals, or hotels are not counted as officially "detained" when it comes to the stats reporting.

I did not expect the Broadview facility in suburban Chicago to appear on this list. And it didn't. ICE considers these kinds of places as "office locations" or "processing centers", which means Broadview is not an "authorized facility" by the agency's definition.

ICE just published its detention statistics spreadsheet. The first of the 2026 fiscal year and the first since mid-September, before the shutdown. The data shows 65,135 people in detention, the highest I've seen in this particular data.
