According to reports on BBC.com, The number of Irish citizens deported from the United States has risen by more than 50% so far in 2025 compared to the previous year, figures released to BBC News NI show. Between January and September 2025, 99 Irish people were deported, according to statistics from the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unit.
This compares to 60 deportations between October 2023 and September 2024. A US immigration lawyer told BBC News NI the number had increased since President Donald Trump's election. A spokesperson for ICE said: "Individuals who are in the US lawfully and have not violated immigration laws or committed crimes have no reason to fear enforcement actions."
It is believed there are more than 100,000 Irish citizens living in the US. Figures released to BBC News NI show that between 1 January this year and 29 September, 99 Irish citizens were deported. This is an increase of more than 50% compared to the 2024 fiscal year - from October 2023 to September 2024 - during which 60 Irish citizens were deported.

ReplyDelete99 out of 100,000 or 0.09%. Kind of irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteIllegal is illegal. If laws mean nothing, why am I paying my taxes?
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteALL illegals. Period.
ReplyDeleteWe're deporting the Irish, we're ass deep in Pakis, Afghanis, Mexicans, every kind of other asshole from the third world and we're deporting the Irish. Priorities folks. Try to pull head out of ass.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, there are bad Irish Illegals that need to go.
DeleteIf they came here illegally they need to go. I don't care what country or race they come from. Illegal is illegal.
ReplyDeleteIf you travel in Ireland, it's an open secret about how many natives know someone who is living be.ow the radar inthe states. Imagine what those 100,000 could do toward saving their country from the rabble being imported there?
ReplyDeleteTuffski Shitski - the law is the law. When the government picks and choses which laws to enforce and who gets a wink and a nod it's not a law, it's a tool at best and a weapon when democrats are in power.
