Illegal Immigrants Apprehended
Database Detail
| Name | Illegal Immigrants Apprehended |
| Summary | Number of aliens apprehended by region and country of nationalization |
| Additional Background |
This form reports the number of aliens apprehended by region and country of nationalization. These actions include the apprehension or arrest, detention, return, and removal from the United States of foreign nationals who are removable under U.S. immigration law. Foreign nationals may be removable from the United States for violations including failure to abide by the terms and conditions of admission or engaging in crimes such as violent crimes, document and benefit fraud, terrorist activity, and drug smuggling.
2008 data include administrative arrests conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). Data from 2009 to the present include administrative arrests conducted by ICE ERO and administrative arrests conducted under the 287(g) program. The counting methodology for administrative arrests by ICE was revised to align with reporting for 2016; prior to 2016, only one administrative arrest was counted.
Primary responsibility for the enforcement of immigration law within DHS rests with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). CBP is generally responsible for immigration enforcement at and between the ports of entry and ICE is generally responsible for interior enforcement.
Totals reported by the source for regions and countries may be slightly different. We assume this may be to the exclusion or inclusion of some countries in these totals.

APA
Format or style, from the American Psychological Association, is commonly used for footnotes in behavioral and social science publications. APA citation is an author-year-system. It is one of the most common styles used and taught at colleges and high schools. See here for more details, including APA formatting for bibliographies.Chicago
Format or style (also known as Turabian), created by the University of Chicago, is commonly used for footnotes in history, business, and fine arts and occasionally in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The Chicago style has two systems of citation. The author-date system (most common in social sciences and sciences) cites sources parenthetically in the text. The notes and bibliography system (most common in humanities) cites sources in numbered footnotes or endnotes which correspond to a superscript number in the text. See here for more details, including Chicago formatting for bibliographies.MLA
Modern Language Association (MLA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in the language arts, cultural studies, liberal arts, and humanities. MLA uses short parenthetical citations within the text that are linked to an alphabetical list of work cited at the end of the document. MLA commonly cites using this format: author's last name, first name, title, publication, edition or chapter, and year. See here for more details, including MLA formatting for bibliographies.AMA
American Medical Association (AMA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in medicine, biomedical research, nursing, dentistry, and other life sciences. AMA uses numerical superscript for citing sources in-text and refers to a list at the end of the work. These references appear in sequential order of when the sources were cited, instead of alphabetical order. See here for more details, including AMA formatting for bibliographies.
