Around 800 detainees showed no record on ICE’s online database. More than 450 listed no location and only instructed the user to “Call ICE for details” — a vague notation that attorneys said could mean that a detainee is still being processed, in the middle of a transfer between two sites or about to be deported.

It seems like there are two possibilities: there are hundreds of people who are missing, presumed killed and the bodies are disappeared in the swamp

Or

The ICE program is far less successful than reported and the amount of people doomed to Alligator Alcatraz is inflated.

Given how inept this regime has been and how frustrated Stephen Miller has been over his incapable gestapo, the people likely never existed. Numbers were likely made up to make the bosses feel good.

An important thing to note about the source I used is that the Washington Examiner is a right wing rag that supports Trump. So seeing the news creep into the right wing echo chamber means it can't be ignored. Stevie is big mad others aren't as blindly racist

I hope so. Seems like the kind of thing they’d do.

Edit: derp, it's fucking ICE that has no records, so my idea makes no sense. Who knows with that fucking circus.

I can think of a third possible option: some are hiding or have fled the country. If I was illegally detained, put into a concentration camp, then released, I'd fucking disappear posthaste.

Not sure of the likelihood, but one can hope.
