NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history. According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.

I'd like figures on how many were a) long term permission overstays and b) here with permission (such as DACA statuse, an asylum or other immigration court claim) either still in effect or forced dismissed by ICE ordering the immigration courts to bag the claims summarily.
