Over 7,100 Mexican nationals were ordered deported from the United States in October – that’s more than any other nationality group, according to new data.
U.S. immigration judges ordered the deportations, which are the most in a decade and culminate a trend in rising number of Mexicans ordered removed from the country, according to data released Friday from Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC.)
Guatemalans, Honduras, Nicaraguans and Ecuadorians were the next most foreign nationals ordered by judges deported from the United States in October, TRAC found.
An analysis of immigration cases found two-thirds, or 66% of all Mexicans who applied for asylum in the United States were ordered deported – that’s way above the 37% of Mexican nationals who were ordered sent back in October 2023, with the remainder allowed to stay in the United States while their immigration cases played out, TRAC says.
Trump to call on Border Patrol for help with deportations, expert says In October, U.S. immigration judges granted asylum relief to 2,471 immigrants, or 66% of cases heard, following their merit hearings, TRAC reports.
October marked the first month of Fiscal Year 2025, and so far this fiscal year, there were 87,620 new immigration cases filed, and 81,472 cases closed, TRAC says.
The immigration case backlog now tops 3.72 million, that’s down slightly from 3.71 million in Fiscal 2024.
TRAC produced the information by analyzing thousands of immigration cases via the Freedom of Information Act.
