> A top federal official said the deportations rose because El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala agreed to more quickly help with the repatriation of their citizens in the past fiscal year, which ran from October 2019 through September 2020. Officials had deported a total of more than 10,700 parents and children - known as "family unit" members - during the previous three fiscal years.
> ICE's year-end report concludes a tumultuous era in immigration enforcement, and serves as a baseline for President-elect Joe Biden's administration as it considers reversing many of Trump's policies.
