ICE deportations rose just slightly in FY 2022 as the agency was forced to divert significant resources to the southern border, its annual report released Friday said.
The agency said that those deportations included removals to over 150 countries, with about half being conducted by charter flight. Among those deported were 2,667 known or suspected gang members 55 known or suspected terrorists, and 74 fugitives wanted for crimes including rape, homicide and kidnapping.

The majority of the deportations were illegal immigrants for whom Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was the arresting agency. Of those deportations for which ICE was the arresting agency, numbers were down to just 28,204 from 31,557 in FY21 and 62,739 in FY 20. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
