Deportations on the Rise

By immigrationprof

The number of undocumented immigrants deported is on the rise. ICE  reports that it deported 280,000 people during the most recent fiscal year ending Sept. 30. That is a 44 percent jump from the previous fiscal years when 195,000 undocumented immigrants were deported.

ICE has arrested more than 600 undocumented immigrants in the Phoenix area this month, including raids on drop houses where smugglers keep many of those unlawfully entering the country from Mexico.
