Washington, D.C. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 442,637 people during fiscal year 2025, according to newly released federal data, marking a significant increase from the previous year.
The figure represents roughly 171,000 more deportations than fiscal year 2024 but remains below former President Donald Trump’s stated goal of removing one million people annually. The data spans October 2024 through September 2025, covering the final months of Joe Biden’s presidency and much of Trump’s return to office.
According to the report, about 167,000 of those deported—approximately 38%—had criminal records, including convictions or pending charges. The administration has emphasized targeting individuals described as the “worst of the worst,” focusing enforcement efforts on those with criminal histories.
The statistics were included in a congressional budget justification and mark the first official deportation figures released during Trump’s current term. However, the report did not include estimates tied to the administration’s claims that more than two million migrants have “self-deported,” which have not been independently verified through regular data releases.
Looking ahead, ICE has set a goal of reaching one million deportations annually but is requesting reduced funding for certain enforcement areas, including detention and transportation. The agency cited additional funding provided through legislation passed in 2025 as a factor in its revised budget request.
