For the first time since at least 2014, immigration removals from inside the United States have surpassed deportations at the border, according to a new report released October 30 by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI).

The report estimates approximately 340,000 removals in fiscal year 2025, including both formal orders of removal and voluntary departures. Projections suggest total deportations could reach about 600,000 by the end of calendar year 2025—short of both the 685,000 removals recorded under the Biden administration in fiscal year 2024 and the Trump administration's stated goal of 1 million.
