"The ICE report shows that the goal for next year is to deport 1 million people. But the agency has asked for less money in fiscal year 2027 than it did in fiscal year 2026."
"ICE supports slashing $751 million from its immigration detention and removal transportation budgets, citing the billions in extra funding provided by the One Big, Beautiful Bill that passed in summer 2025."
"Of the deportations, almost 167,000 people had criminal records (convictions and pending charges). This is roughly 38% of all removals and returns as the administration aims to focus on the promoting its enforcement against the so-called 'Worst of the Worst.'"
The first official deportation statistic under the Trump administration indicates a goal of deporting 1 million people in the upcoming fiscal year. The Office of Homeland Security Statistics has not updated its data since November 2024. The report does not include the agency's claimed figure of over two million 'self-deportations.' ICE plans to cut $751 million from its immigration detention and removal transportation budgets and has reduced its budget request for officer overtime by $155 million. Nearly 38% of deportations involved individuals with criminal records.
