Fact check: Which ICE facilities detain the most green card holders in the United States as of 2025?

Checked on September 11, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided do not offer a clear answer to the question of which ICE facilities detain the most green card holders in the United States as of 2025 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. However, several cases of green card holders being detained are mentioned across different sources, including Junior Dioses at an ICE jail in Conover, Texas [1], Rami Jilani Othmane at ICE's Eloy Detention Center [2], Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma [3], Sharereh Moghadam at a detention center in Phoenix [6], and Donna Hughes-Brown at an ICE facility in Kentucky [7]. These cases suggest that green card holders are being detained at various ICE facilities across the country, but the specific facilities detaining the most green card holders are not identified [4] [2] [5]. The total number of detainees in ICE facilities is reported to be around 59,000, with a 50% increase from the last days of the Biden administration, and nearly half of these detainees have no criminal record [4] [5].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

  • The analyses provided do not offer a comprehensive overview of the total number of green card holders detained by ICE or the specific facilities with the highest detention rates [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7].
  • Alternative viewpoints on the detention of green card holders, such as the impact on families and communities, are not fully explored in the analyses [1] [2] [3].
  • The changing enforcement priorities of ICE and their effects on green card holders are mentioned, but not thoroughly examined [5] [1].
  • The experiences of green card holders who have been detained, such as Rami Jilani Othmane and Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry, highlight concerns about the treatment and rights of detainees [2] [3].
  • The broader context of immigration policies and their impact on green card holders is not fully considered in the analyses [1] [6] [7].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading in implying that there is readily available information on which ICE facilities detain the most green card holders [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. ICE and immigration authorities may benefit from this lack of transparency, as it can make it more difficult to track and critique their detention practices [4] [5]. On the other hand, advocates for immigrant rights may be hindered by the lack of information, as it can limit their ability to provide support and resources to detained green card holders [1] [3] [6]. The media and the public may also be affected, as the lack of clear information can make it challenging to understand the scope and impact of ICE's detention practices [4] [2] [5].
