Scoop: ICE detention numbers slip
ICE detention numbers have decreased to 58,000, with empty bed space despite a $38 billion expansion. The drop follows a peak of 72,000 in January and a shift in enforcement strategies after the Minneapolis incidents. Officials confirm current detention centers are under capacity, including the family detention center in Dilley, Texas.
