ICE enforcement in New York City has accelerated markedly since January 2025 under the current administration, with federal data showing 5,567 arrests in the metro area from inauguration through mid-March 2026—a 71% rise from the prior comparable period. Operations have focused on criminal noncitizens, including targeted fugitive sweeps and actions at immigration courts, though a May 2026 federal court order sharply limited arrests at Manhattan courthouses. New York’s sanctuary policies continue to restrict local-federal data sharing and detainer compliance, while voluntary departures have risen among those detained. With roughly two weeks remaining until the June 30 resolution date, the pace of new arrests relative to the 4,800 threshold will determine whether the cumulative counter clears the line.
