Immigrants with no criminal record are now the largest group in US immigration detention, according to data released by the government. The number of people with no criminal history arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) and detained by the Trump administration has now surpassed the number of those charged with crimes.

Ice, the federal agency most heavily relied upon by Donald Trump to carry out the US president’s mass deportation campaign, released its latest numbers on Thursday.

According to the official data, 16,523 people in immigration detention with no criminal record were arrested by Ice, compared to 15,725 who do have a criminal record and 13,767 with pending criminal charges.

There are currently a total of 59,762 people in Ice detention across the US. The remaining number of people in Ice custody were brought in by border officials.
