Interval ADP and Reported ADP for Adelanto ICE Processing Center As of July 21, 2025, ICE reported an annualized average of 351 detainees at the facility. Using an interval average, the number detained on that date was likely closer to 1,664.
ICE's annualized average tells us that "only" 351 people are held at Adelanto ICE Processing Center.
With the help of some math, we can determine that ICE actually detains around *1,664* people at Adelanto.
A difference of more than 1,300 people. Largest discrepancy since at least Oct. 1, 2023.
Here are the first areal photos of Trump's immigration detention facility at Fort Bliss, El Paso. The first detainees started arriving on Friday.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses over 175 facilities across the states and territories of the US to detain people who ICE believes are eligible for removal.
Starting today, I am going to start posting some summary information from DetentionReports.com for two facilities each day.
the Court fails to do so by suggesting the Attorney General unreasonably relied on section 1182(d)(5)(A). Not so. That statute provides that parole is not βan admission of the alien and when the purposes of such parole shall ... have been served the alien shall forthwith return ... to the custody from which he was paroled and thereafter his case shall continue to be dealt with in the same manner as that of any other applicant for admission to the United States.β Thus, Congress made clear that parole is simply a temporary release of an alien into the United States that confers no immigration status, and that once parole expires or is revoked, the alien shall be detained and treated as any other applicant for admission. In a nutshell, an alien paroled at a port of entry stands in the same legal position as one stopped at the border and should be treated as such for purposes of expedited removal.
DOJ's Office of Immigration Litigation appears to have left a note in that undermines the argument they are being made to advance in this filing. In the section of the filing, "The Courtβs objections to the Governmentβs interpretation of βarrivingβ are not persuasive. The Courtβs observation that none of the pre-expedited removal cases cited in Defendantsβ brief use the term βarrivingβ is beside the point. See op. at 60. The critical point is that these specific principles concerning parole and paroled arriving aliens were well-established at the time of the enactment of the expedited removal statute through the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) and should weigh heavily when interpreting the term βarriving.β Although a paroled arriving alien may have βarrivedβ at a port of entry in terms of a historical event, see op. at 61, that does not mean he is not an βarriving alienβ for purposes of the βarriving inβ authority; he is positionally an arriving alien and Congress legislated with the awareness of that principle. 3" the embedded note at 3 in yellow reads, "Civil/OIL Flagging for DHS to make sure it agrees. Also, how do we interpret 8 CFR 212.5(e)(2)(i), which states in part: "parole shall be terminated upon written notice to the alien and he or she shall be restored to the status that he or she had at the time of parole." If parole does not change an arriving alien's status why would they need to be "restored to the status that [they] had at the time of parole"?"
The Office of Immigration Litigation:
"If parole does not change an arriving alien's status why would they need to be "restored to the status that [they] had at the time of parole"?"
