Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reported a significant increase in deportations, with over 271,000 people deported in fiscal year 2024, the highest count in a decade. This reflects a 90% rise from the previous year, attributed to increased enforcement and streamlined deportation processes under the Biden administration. The report comes as President-elect Trump prepares to take office, aiming for mass deportations. As deportations surged, arrests within the U.S. dipped by 33%, and challenges regarding resources and detention capacity persist for ICE as it plans for future operations.
