There was a significant drop-off in entries to the United States in 2025 relative to 2024 and an increase in enforcement activity leading to removals and voluntary departures. We estimate that net migration was between –10,000 and –295,000 in 2025, the first time in at least half a century it has been negative.

Outflows – Voluntary response to enforcement. Immigrants may respond to the enforcement environment even if they are not formally removed. For example, some immigration court cases end in “voluntary departure,” which carries fewer long-run penalties than an official removal. Using data from the Transaction Records Access Clearinghouse, we see that there were around 40,000 such court resolutions in 2025, compared to around 10,000 in 2024.

In addition, immigrants may choose to leave the United States if a family member is deported or may decide that leaving is a better option than risking detention or permanent family separation.

At 310,000 to 315,000, the 2025 removals are not much higher than the 2024 removals of around 285,000. The nature of these removals has changed, however. In fiscal year 2024, only 18% of ICE removals were initiated by ICE as opposed to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, meaning the vast majority of ICE deportations were of recent border crossers. Comparable statistics have not been released for 2025, but it is clear from border statistics and other evidence that most removals in 2025 were from the nation’s interior.

Still way too many green cards being issued:

The resulting estimate is that there were 560,000 to 575,000 green cards issued abroad in 2025, compared to about 670,000 in 2024.
