ICE Arrests 4,179 In Virginia Since Trump Inauguration; Non-Criminals Are 57%

ICE has made 4,179 arrests in Virginia since Jan. 20, 2025, per the Deportation Data Project—over five times the 2024 pace—with peaks in June (873) and July (758). About 57% of arrestees were not facing criminal charges. Detention has ramped up at Farmville and Caroline centers, and Riverside jail logged 119 ICE detainee stays, some lasting days to six weeks. State officials cite a focus on violent offenders, but ICE’s public stats lag behind the independent dataset.
