A Washington Post analysis of federal data found nearly 20,000 ICE arrests in D.C., Maryland and Virginia from the start of President Trump’s second administration through March 10, compared with nearly 3,800 in the last full year of President Biden’s administration. The article reports that arrests fell sharply in D.C. after December but stayed high in Maryland and Virginia, where many people arrested had no prior criminal record.
