Record deportations from the U.S. in 2024: Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras Top the list
In 2024, over 287,000 migrants were deported from the United States, with the majority originating from Latin American countries.
The three countries with the highest deportation figures were Mexico (87,300), Guatemala (66,440), and Honduras (45,920).
Data sourced from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), highlights ongoing migration and deportation patterns, with Central America continuing to be the region most affected.
Other countries with significant numbers include:
- El Salvador – 15,280
- Colombia – 14,270
- Ecuador – 12,920
- Other nationalities – 14,930 combined
Notably, South American nations such as Colombia, Ecuador, Peru (4,300), and Venezuela (3,260) also appeared in the statistics, reflecting broader migration pressures from political and economic instability in the region.
Smaller figures were reported for the Dominican Republic (2,990) and Nicaragua (3,870), but together, they contribute to the larger trend of deportations across the Americas.
The U.S. has faced increasing challenges managing migration at its southern border, with policy debates intensifying as the numbers grow.
The 2024 deportation figures mark one of the highest in recent years, underscoring a continuing trend that will likely influence immigration policy discussions in the lead-up to the 2026 midterm elections.
