As the Trump administration continues its massive deportation effort, ICE is reportedly running out of detention space, and officials told reporters on Wednesday that the agency is currently detaining 46,700 migrants as they await deportation.
Citing internal data, CBS reported that ICE detention facilities are presently at approximately 120% capacity.
Customs and Border Protection rolled out a new app on Monday that will allow illegal immigrants to notify the federal government of their plan to "self-deport" in lieu of waiting for immigration authorities to arrest and detain them.
Called CBP Home, the app will give migrants the option of signaling their "intent to depart," according to the agency.
