U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deported nearly 200,000 people in the first seven months of President Donald Trump’s second term, a pace that would give the agency its highest annual total in at least a decade, according to a senior Department of Homeland Security official cited by CNN. When removals carried out by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard and self-deportations are included, total federal deportations since Trump returned to office rise to almost 350,000. ICE recorded about 71,400 deportations in the October–December 2024 quarter, putting the agency on track to surpass 300,000 expulsions in fiscal 2025; the last time it reached that level was fiscal 2014, when 316,000 people were removed under President Barack Obama. Trump campaigned on carrying out mass deportations and has set a target of one million removals a year, but interior arrests remain between 1,000 and 2,000 a day, short of the White House goal of 3,000. Congress this summer approved a funding package that will allocate almost $75 billion to ICE through 2029, including about $45 billion to expand detention capacity and nearly $30 billion for enforcement operations, funds the administration says will accelerate its deportation drive.
