ICE Data Reveals 145,419 Deportations in 2025 as Rates Decline

Newly released data from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveals that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported 145,419 individuals between January 20 and July 31, 2025. The deportation figures peaked in June at 27,970 before declining to 23,250 in July, indicating a notable slowdown during the summer months.

Among the deportations, there has been a significant increase in confirmed voluntary departures, rising from 592 in February to 4,241 in July. However, overall self-deportations facilitated through the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Home app remain in the "tens of thousands" as of June 30, suggesting a mixed response to current immigration policies.

This surge in deportations marks a continuation of aggressive enforcement strategies initiated during the Trump administration. As previously reported, the numbers reflect an ongoing trend of high deportation rates, which have become a focal point in the national conversation on immigration reform.

The implications of these statistics may influence future immigration policies and public opinion as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Stakeholders are closely monitoring these trends, anticipating how they will shape the immigration landscape in the months to come.
