More than 185,000 illegal immigrants were deported by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in Fiscal Year 2020, including over 4,200 gang members and 31 known or suspected terrorists, according to recently released agency data.
In spite of disruptions created by the COVID-19 pandemic, of those 185,884 deported by ICE between Oct. 1, 2019, and Sept. 30, 2020, 118,949 of them — roughly 64 percent — had criminal convictions or active criminal charges levied against them.
Almost 14,500 deported illegal immigrants were families and just over 4,000 were Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs).
A staggering 92 percent of illegal immigrants deported from the United States had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges when they were deported.
