DHS records reveal 261 DACA recipients arrested in 2025 crackdown, 241 with criminal histories

CBS News reports a DHS letter to Congress showing ICE arrested 261 DACA recipients from Jan. 1 to Nov. 19, 2025 (the end of Biden’s term overlapped with most of the Trump crackdown), with 241 (about 92%) having criminal histories outside civil immigration violations and 86 deported; DHS didn’t specify the severity of the records. Democrats Durbin, Padilla, and Kelly called the figures troubling and asked for more detail on charges. The report notes about 516,000 Dreamers were enrolled in DACA by mid-2025 and underscores that DACA remains legally unsettled amid ongoing court battles and policy reversals by successive administrations.

Gay asylum seeker returns to Morocco in hiding after U.S. third-country deportation

Her case highlights the risks and due-process concerns of U.S. third-country deportations and the role of return programs in potentially dangerous situations for asylum seekers.

DHS Contemplates Luxury Jet for Deportations, Stirring Budget Debate

The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to buy a $70 million Boeing 737 Max 8 luxury jet for immigrant deportation flights and Cabinet travel, featuring a bedroom, showers, kitchen, bar and multiple TVs. DHS says the plane would save money by replacing costly military or charter flights, but critics question the necessity and purpose of such a luxury aircraft amid efforts to expand deportations and own deportation flights.

New US Deportation Flight to Cameroon Triggers Legal Scrutiny

AP reports a fresh group of third-country nationals was deported from the United States to Cameroon on Monday, following earlier disclosures that nine others were secretly sent there last month. Several of the nine reportedly had protection orders, prompting lawyers to say deporting to a third country can sidestep due process. The broader practice involves several African nations paying to accept deportees to deter migrants, a move the administration defends as enforcing immigration policy while critics warn of human-rights risks; U.S. officials have acknowledged Cameroon deportations but offered limited details.

Labour deportations: nearly 60,000 returns in 19 months, with January dip

Provisional Home Office data show about 60,000 foreign nationals were removed from the UK in the 19 months since Labour took office in July 2024, a 15% rise from the prior period, while January 2026 recorded the lowest removals in almost three years largely due to fewer voluntary departures. Under Labour, voluntary departures have made up around three-quarters of removals, but that share fell to 62% in January; final figures may change when published. Labour has pledged to increase returns for people with no legal right to be in the UK, and there are no official statistics on the number of people in the country illegally. For more, BBC Verify’s migration tracker is referenced in the update.

Clergy Arrests Highlight MSP Protest Demanding ICE End Deportations

Dozens to roughly 100 faith leaders were arrested at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport during a protest urging ICE to end its arrests in Minnesota. Organizers say about 2,000 people have been deported through MSP. The Metropolitan Airports Commission said it cannot legally restrict access and that the protest exceeded the permit cap. Airport police issued misdemeanor citations for trespassing and disobeying officers to those arrested, including clergy member Rev. Mariah Tollgaard, who framed the action as a religious duty. The march also noted that 12 airport workers were reportedly arrested by ICE.

ICE grants new power to raid homes using admin warrants, prompting constitutional backlash

A leaked ICE memo reveals the agency is authorizing officers to forcibly enter private homes using administrative warrants to arrest individuals with final removal orders, a shift that challenges longstanding Fourth Amendment protections and prior training. The directive, issued by acting ICE Director Todd Lyons in May 2025 and reportedly circulated to select DHS officials, is already influencing new recruits and has been publicized amid ongoing raids, including a Minneapolis home raid captured on video. Critics say the policy undermines due process and civil rights, and it is expected to face legal challenges as the administration expands mass deportations.

Trump Deportation Drive Expands, Interior Removals Outpace Biden

A New York Times analysis finds that in the last year the Trump administration deported about 230,000 people arrested inside the U.S. and about 270,000 at the border, bringing total deportations since he took office to roughly 540,000—more than Biden’s interior totals—while border crossings fell to record lows. DHS’ broader tallies suggest higher numbers when including all repatriations, and the piece notes counting complexities (ICE vs CBP, removals vs repatriations) along with a rise in at-large arrests and roughly 40,000 self-deportations via a CBP app.
