No granular criminal-history breakdown exists for the specific individuals who died, and ICE has actively reduced oversight that might produce one, but:
ICE itself confirmed 36 deaths between Jan. 20, 2025 and Jan. 12, 2026, with two more after that date. There were 11 in 2024. ¹
73.6% of current detainees have no criminal convictions. ²
Of ~393,000 total ICE arrests between Jan. 21, 2025 and Jan. 31, 2026, about 153,000 (~39%) were "other administrative arrests" — immigrants detained solely for civil immigration offenses like overstaying a visa or being undocumented, with no criminal record. CBS News note that being undocumented is a civil infraction, not a crime.³
