The figures also include 1,053 individuals identified as suspected or known gang members.
Nationwide, ICE reports that out of 7.8 million illegal immigrants, 662,586 – around 8.6% – have criminal convictions or pending charges. Data on suspected gang affiliations at the national level remains unspecified.
Since the immigration surge began in spring 2022, over 223,000 migrants have arrived in New York City. Currently, at least 58,000 remain in taxpayer-funded shelters.
