U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested and deported more illegal immigrants in fiscal 2026 than any year on record, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“Fiscal Year 2026 saw the highest number of ICE deportations and arrests for any year in ICE’s history. September 2026 was the best September in ICE’s history in terms of arrests,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. “The total number of ICE arrests in Fiscal Year 2026 was more than all three full fiscal years under Biden combined, as the patriots of ICE work around the clock to make America safe again.”
