The 2018 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics is a compendium of tables that provide data on foreign nationals who are granted lawful permanent residence (i.e., immigrants who receive a “green card”), admitted as temporary nonimmigrants, granted asylum or refugee status, or are naturalized. The Yearbook also presents data on immigration enforcement actions, including apprehensions and arrests, removals, and returns.

1 The counting methodology for administrative arrests by ICE ERO was revised to align with ICE ERO reporting for 2016; for earlier years only one administrative arrest could be counted for the same person on the same day.
2 Beginning in 2009, data include arrests conducted by ICE ERO and arrests conducted under the 287(g) program.
3 Historical figures for ICE ERO administrative arrests may differ from those published by ICE due to updates to previously published numbers.
4 Formerly known as Marfa, TX.
Note: CBP Border Patrol data are current as of October 2018. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) data are current as of October 2018. ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) data are current as of October 2018.
