The number of people deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement continued to slowly increase under the Trump administration in the government’s 2019 fiscal year but remains much lower than average over the past decade.

ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations arm, which handles arrests and deportations of illegal immigrants, reported Wednesday it returned 267,258 people to their home countries between Oct. 1, 2018, and Sept. 30, known as fiscal 2019. Those deported were either arrested inside the United States by ICE or were transferred to ICE from Border Patrol custody after illegally crossing into the country. The number was up from 256,085 in 2018 and 226,119 in 2017, which included eight months in which President Trump was in office. Trump vowed as a candidate to go after people who violated federal immigration laws.
