U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted nearly 50,000 arrests in July 2026, the highest number of arrests for any month during President Donald Trump’s second administration, according to ICE data published by the UC Berkeley and UCLA-run Deportation Data Project. The Deportation Data Project is led by lawyers and academics at UC Berkeley and UCLA who record and publish immigration enforcement data from the U.S. government. Launched March 2025, the project has used the Freedom of Information Act to request datasets directly from federal agencies such as ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Deportation Data Project’s most recent dataset, published Aug. 24, shows that ICE logged approximately 49,091 arrests in July 2026. The update includes ICE arrests, detention book-ins and removals documented between Oct. 1, 2022, and Aug. 6, 2026, adding nearly five months of data to the prior release, which ran through March 10, 2026.
