Minnesota DOC disputes DHS-ICE detainer tallies, cites lower local count

Minnesota’s Department of Corrections held a news conference to challenge DHS/ICE figures, saying a state review found only 301 ICE detainers in Minnesota custody (94 in county jails and 207 in state prisons) versus DHS’s claim of more than 1,360, and accusing ICE of not providing data or a clear methodology. DOC notes some cases DHS labeled as releases involved transfers to ICE or were not in Minnesota custody, and reiterates that detainers are ICE’s decision; the department is asking DHS to share verifiable data for specific cases.
