US Deportations Reach 483,200, Highest Level in ICE’s 23-Year History

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported <b>483,200 people</b> in the fiscal year that ended September 30, the Department of Homeland Security said. The agency said the total was the highest in its 23-year history and exceeded the previous high of 442,640 in the prior fiscal year by 9 per cent. The figure was 78 per cent higher than the 271,480 deportations recorded in 2024, the final year of Joe Biden’s presidency. The reported total remained below the administration’s one-million target. The figures emerged amid political backlash over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
