The Trump administration aggressively publicized the arrests of more than 8,000 immigrants by federal agents since Inauguration Day, with the promise that those detained would be part of a historic mass deportation. But NBC News has learned that some have already been released back into the United States on a monitoring program, according to five sources familiar with the operations.
Since he took office, President Donald Trump and his allies have promoted immigration operations in cities like Chicago and New York, where agents across federal agencies were called in to increase the number of arrests.
But arresting more people inside the United States on allegations of immigration violations means they need to be held somewhere. And significant space constraints in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities — and federal court orders forbidding indefinite detention — have forced the agency to release some of those arrested in the roundups rather than hold them until deportation.

If true.....
Consider the “news” source before you comment.
NBC trying to dampen MAGA excitement and fuel disappointment.
No big deal. 1. small numbers 2. before release, they make sure they can track them 3. temporary situation 4. NBC report
The article says it - there is no room. They have arrested so many, there is no where to put them, even temporarily, on their way out.
America is swamped with illegals and Obama and Biden and the DC leftists have neutered ICE
The woke MSM loves cherry-picking a few examples of exceptions for their propaganda.
Don’t worry - the worst ones are being taking out. Operations and facilities are ramping up. More and more will be dealt with quickly.
Typical NBC: bitch if they try to deport illegals and then bitch when some are released without deportation.
Yup. This is just a hit piece. It’ll get sorted out.
Doesn’t concern me in the least. Tom Homan?! Trump?! NBC?! Get outta here
I’m sure a vetting was done on the ones let back.
If they have been working 10 or 20 years with no issues and there’s no room, then they are not priority right now.
I KNOW it is a crime the second they cross the border...they are criminals already and nothing further is needed to deport them.
That is the law.
But hell we got so many citizens that suck and are in and out of prison day and night.
Maybe like a HUGE fine paid over a LIFETIME and NO citizenship?...$200,000 lifetime fine.
Miss one payment, you go back.
If not, then send them all back.
They can’t lose. If they worked hard they will have nice savings for home or have supported their family nicely for a long time, even if they are returned.
I know!!! Bleeding heart!! I dont get it i’m usually pretty solid!!
I have faith any that "were let go" were calculatedly innocent or harmless people and can be retrieved at a later date.
I question the term “arrested”. During these Crack downs, individuals here legally or U S citizens maybe with the illegals and taken into custody. I expect such individuals would be released.
Quit posting and critizing Trump. It’s The Golden Age and we don’t need to know what your whiny opinion is anymore.
I wonder if NBC has any proof.
Some may self-deport after this not wanting to wait for a re-arrest.
I don’t think you’re a “bleeding heart” liberal. If they’ve been a good tax-paying citizen for 10 years, give them a break. If they are any form of burden to the US taxpayer (e.g., welfare, food stamps, rent subsidy, etc) they pay a fine equal to all the subsidies they’ve received plus a fine ($10,000??), or back they go. If they haven’t received any transfer payments, they pay the fine or back they go.
Knock off the free Piñata bennies and they’ll leave. Pedo Joe’s batch of wetbacks aren’t here to work. They’re hear for a free Limited Edition “Better Life”. It’s time to stop giving them taxpayer taxes or knock off the taxes altogether. Money from our family’s paychecks shouldn’t be used to purchase “a better life” for foreign freeloading invaders.
Hopefully the arrested illegals’ chip implants reveal the location of their hive once released and more arrests can be made.
No issues? How about they are in the country illegally? You shouldn’t get to win prizes if you break the law.
