The number of deportations carried out by ICE in Fiscal Year 2024 reached levels comparable to the Trump administration, despite a surge in the number of illegal immigrants not in detention. The report reveals that ICE deported 271,484 individuals, with a significant portion having criminal histories or suspected terrorist ties.
Deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) caught up to levels seen during the Trump administration in Fiscal Year 2024, just as the number of illegal immigrants not in ICE detention soared to new highs. The annual ICE report released Wednesday shows that ICE deported 271,484 illegal immigrants to 192 different countries in fiscal year 2024. Of those, 32.7% had criminal histories and 237 were known or suspected terrorists.
It’s a significant increase from more than 142,000 deported in FY 23, and around 72,000 in FY 2022.

That compared to 62,739 in FY 2020 in the last full year of the Trump administration and 85,958 conducted in FY 2019, nearly double that of FY 2024. ICE says that its resources were strained by having to shift staff and attention to the southern border to help with the migrant crisis, as well as an increase in those released into the interior. 'In addition, ERO detailed significant numbers of its personnel to support DHS efforts for managing irregular migration at the Southwest Border over the past several fiscal years, further straining ERO’s finite resources,' the report says. Consequently, it says the number of arrests by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) dropped in FY 2024. 'In FY 2024, ERO arrested 113,431 noncitizens — a 3
