ICE: US Immigration Authority Reports Highest Number of Deportations
Trump had significantly toughened deportation policy after taking office. The approach of the immigration authority ICE is particularly in the criticism. Experts doubt the transparency of the information.
The US government has deported nearly half a million people in a year, according to the Department of Homeland Security. In the fiscal year ending September, over 483,000 people were deported, a record high for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. This represents a significant increase from the 271,000 deportations under President Joe Biden's predecessor, and over 400,000 in the two years prior under President Donald Trump.
The data released by the Department of Homeland Security lacks some details, such as the number of deportees with prior convictions.
