As of late August 2026, the best available data indicate that ICE has arrested more than 564,000 people since Donald Trump returned to office on January 20, 2025. San Francisco Chronicle+1

The important distinction is between arrests and deportations:

• ICE arrests: more than 564,000 since January 20, 2025.

• Deportations: there is no single reliable, up-to-date official total covering the same period. The administration stopped regularly publishing the detailed data needed to make a clean calculation. Deportation Data Project+1

• For July 2026 alone, ICE recorded 49,571 arrests and about 34,000 deportations, according to ICE data obtained and analyzed by the Deportation Data Project. The Guardian

There is also a significant discrepancy in the administration's public numbers. DHS previously claimed 605,000 deportations by December 10, 2025, but independent researchers found roughly 350,000 deportations during the comparable period. The DHS figure may include people stopped or expelled at the border rather than people actually deported by ICE. Politifact API+1

So I would not tell you that 564,000 people were deported. That figure is arrests. The number actually deported is substantially different, and the government's current reporting makes an exact cumulative number difficult to establish.

If you'd like, I can calculate the best independent estimate of total ICE arrests and deportations from January 20, 2025 through August 31, 2026, month by month.
