The DHS said the announcement forms part of the US government’s broader immigration enforcement drive, with ICE conducting arrests across the country.
The publication comes as the administration continues efforts to remove non-US citizens identified as priorities under its immigration enforcement policy.
However, the information released by DHS does not specify the final immigration status of each individual or provide details of their respective deportation proceedings. Their inclusion on the list does not, in itself, establish that they have already been deported.
