In Fiscal Year 2024, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported over 271,000 individuals, marking the highest annual total in nearly a decade. This figure surpasses deportation numbers recorded during the Trump administration. The report indicates that deportations have reached levels not seen since 2014, as the Biden administration approaches its conclusion. The increase in deportations has been attributed to enhanced operational capabilities, including more flights for deportation. The data reflects a significant rise in the number of illegal immigrants not in ICE detention, further complicating the immigration landscape as the transition of power to Donald Trump looms.
