Removals / OQTF

United States
Immigration & integration

United States — Removals / OQTF

Number of removal orders carried out; measures enforcement of removal policy.· Removals = the compulsory, confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable person out of the United States under an order of removal (Title 8: expedited removals, reinstatements of prior orders, other removals), by every DHS component. Returns (voluntary departures, withdrawals) and Title 42 expulsions (March 2020 – May 2023) are not included. Monthly, US federal fiscal-year tables rounded to the nearest ten. The DHS Office of Homeland Security Statistics has published no monthly table since January 2025 (data through November 2024): the series is frozen. ICE's own removal counts are a different scope (ICE only, definition changed in FY2025) and are not joined to it.
