Context and Trends
- Removals dipped in 2021 during the pandemic but remained steady overall before increasing in later years.
- In 2025, US citizens ranked around sixth or seventh among nationalities for removals.
Many removals involved non-compliance with immigration rules, such as overstays or failed refugee claims, though specific breakdowns for US citizens are not detailed publicly. Proximity to the border and cross-border travel patterns likely contribute to these numbers.
