- ICE officers have been told to target 19,000 arrests a week.

## Summary

ICE removed 483,200 people in the US fiscal year ending 30 September, the largest total in its history, while recording more than 491,000 immigration arrests. The figures highlight the scale of President Donald Trump’s deportation drive as Stephen Miller, its chief architect, takes over as White House chief of staff.

The removals were about 18 per cent higher than ICE’s 2012 figure under Barack Obama and nearly 78 per cent above the agency’s total in Joe Biden’s final full fiscal year. More than half of ICE arrests in July involved people with no criminal conviction or pending charge, while a Migration Policy Institute analysis found about one in five of roughly 980,000 removals by ICE and Border Patrol involved someone with a conviction. ICE has been given a target of about 19,000 arrests a week, and Congress is expected to scrutinise its funding and tactics.
