US Immigration and Enforcement (ICE) has deported a record 483,200 people since the start of 2026, according to CBS. The number has already exceeded the historical maximum of 2025, when 442.6 thousand illegal immigrants were deported from the country. According to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, thanks to President Donald Trump's policies, the agency has been given complete freedom of action to identify and remove illegal immigrants.
