Data released Sept. 2 from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) finds that after breaking the threshold for the most illegal alien arrests in a single month in July 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) surpassed that number again in August.
Arrests are continuing in September, with ICE deporting a number of criminal illegal aliens this month including convicted gang members and those convicted of, among other crimes, second-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon, possession of material/device for arson, second-degree robbery, possession of a controlled substance, grand theft vehicle, obstructing or resisting a public officer, and false identification to a peace officer.
According to DHS, ICE arrested 50,925 illegal aliens in August, topping the 50,208 illegal aliens arrested in July. August marks the second consecutive month with over 50,000 illegal alien arrests and points to a steep increase in the number of illegals being arrested and deported from the U.S. since February.
