US Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported 483,200 deportations and more than 491,000 arrests during fiscal year 2026, setting records under President Donald Trump's administration.

The enforcement campaign received $75 billion in designated funding through a 2025 tax law, while its architect, Stephen Miller, was recently appointed White House chief of staff.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin described those targeted as the "worst of the worst." However, an analysis found that more than half of ICE arrests in July involved people without criminal convictions or pending charges.

Following midterm election losses, Trump acknowledged that his deportation policies may have been "too tough" and suggested possible cooperation with Democrats on immigration legislation.

Congressional Democrats have pledged closer scrutiny of ICE spending and enforcement practices when they take control of both chambers in January.
