Summary

67% Informative

An estimated 11.7 million people are living in the U.S. illegally.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement currently has the budget to detain only about 41,000 people.

The government would need additional space to hold people while they are processed and arrangements are made to remove them, sometimes by plane.

Immigrant detention facilities overseen by ICE have struggled broadly to comply with some federal standards for care, a Homeland Security Department inspector general found.

In 2014 , Obama temporarily relied on military bases to detain immigrant children while ramping up privately operated family detention centers.

U.S. military bases have been used repeatedly since the 1970s to accommodate the resettlement of immigrants fleeing Vietnam , Cuba , Haiti , Kosovo and Afghanistan .
