Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has conducted some 150,000 deportations in the first six months of the Trump administration as it ramps up its enforcement operations.
The figure is still far from its self-imposed goal of recording 1 million deportations in the first year of the administration, but the agency has vowed to ramp up efforts, especially after getting tens of billions in funds following the passage of President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Should deportations continue at this pace, they would reach about 300,000 by the end of the year, the highest figure since fiscal year 2014, when the Obama administration conducted 316,000 ICE removals. The highest amount ever recorded was in 2012, when the agency conducted some 410,000 deportations.
