How many lawful permanent residents did U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement remove in 2025?

1. What the documents actually claim — no LPR 2025 tally appears

Every source in the packet either discusses policy changes, legal frameworks, or aggregate deportation claims without isolating a 2025 count of Lawful Permanent Residents removed. Policy-oriented pieces explain the expansion of expedited removal and the legal risk to LPRs under certain enforcement regimes, but they stop short of producing year-to-date statistics for LPR removals in 2025. ICE’s ERO statistics were cited but the publicly available dataset in the packet extends only through December 31, 2024, meaning the statistical baseline provided cannot directly answer a 2025 question ^{[1] [4] [5] [3]}. There is therefore an evidentiary gap in this collection between descriptive policy analysis and the specific numerical count requested.

2. Administration-wide deportation claims that complicate interpretation

One source in the packet notes a Trump administration claim that by September 2025 the Department of Homeland Security had deported roughly 400,000 people since the president’s return to office and posits millions of “self-deportations” as an estimated effect, but it does not break that 400,000 into immigration statuses such as LPRs, noncitizens with lawful status, asylum seekers, or undocumented migrants ^[2]. A headline aggregate figure does not equal an LPR-specific figure; using a 400,000 aggregate to infer LPR removals would conflate different legal categories and risk misattribution. The packet therefore contains administration-level totals but no LPR disaggregation for 2025.

3. Where ICE’s own data could answer the question — limits in the packet

ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations publishes regular statistics that can be used to count removals by status, and the packet references that series up to December 31, 2024, indicating the mechanism by which LPR removal counts have historically been reported ^[3]. But the packet lacks the 2025 update from ICE’s ERO, meaning one cannot responsibly extract a 2025 LPR removal number from these materials. To obtain a precise LPR count for 2025, one must consult ICE’s official ERO datasets for calendar year 2025 or Department of Homeland Security removal reports that explicitly break removals down by immigration status.

4. Contextual reporting and legal analyses highlight risk but not totals

Several pieces in the packet are legal and policy analyses explaining how expanded expedited removal and shifts in enforcement priorities increase the vulnerability of LPRs to detention and removal proceedings, describing potential legal mechanisms that could raise LPR removals even if numbers aren’t provided ^{[1] [4] [5]}. These analyses document plausible drivers of increased LPR enforcement — administrative policy, expedited procedures, and prosecutorial discretion changes — but they remain qualitative. Without matched quantitative reporting for 2025, policy analysis and aggregate deportation claims provide context but not the specific numerical answer requested.

5. How to resolve the gap — what sources would provide the exact figure

To produce a definitive count of LPRs removed by ICE in 2025, one must consult ICE’s ERO removals dataset for calendar year 2025 or the Department of Homeland Security’s removal statistics where removals are disaggregated by immigration status for that year; neither appears in this packet. Official ICE/DHS data released after December 31, 2024 is the authoritative route: their databases and statutory reporting (quarterly or annual ERO reports) typically enumerate removals by citizenship and, in some releases, by lawful permanent resident status. Absent those 2025 releases in the supplied materials, any numeric claim about LPR removals in 2025 would be unsupported by the documents provided ^{[3] [2]}.

6. Bottom line and transparent next steps

The supplied sources establish that enforcement policies in 2025 increased scrutiny and that the administration reported substantial aggregate deportations by late 2025, but they do not provide a specific number of Lawful Permanent Residents removed by ICE in 2025 ^{[1] [2] [3]}. For a definitive answer, retrieve ICE ERO calendar-year 2025 removal statistics or DHS removal reports that explicitly list removals by status; those primary datasets will permit a precise LPR count and will resolve the evidentiary gap documented across the analyzed materials.
