We have been analyzing and reporting immigration data since 1872, first as the Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS) and now as the Office of Homeland Security Statistics (OHSS).
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are the Department's immigration components. Each component also collects and shares data, which we link to on our immigration topic pages.
Monthly Immigration Report: We publish a monthly Immigration Enforcement and Legal Processes Report. This set of tables includes monthly data on immigration enforcement and legal processes. Data include encounters, administrative arrests, book-out outcomes, book-ins, detention, removals, returns, and repatriations. It also includes data on CBP One appointments, credible fear screenings, and parole processes.
Immigration Topics
Yearbook of Immigration Statistics
This is an annual collection of tables on foreign nationals. It includes data on lawful immigration and immigration enforcement actions.
Lawful Permanent Residents
Lawful permanent residents (LPRs) are also known as “green card” holders. They are noncitizens who are lawfully authorized to live permanently within the United States.
Refugees and Asylees
The United States provides refuge to persecuted people or people who have a well-founded fear of persecution and their immediate relatives. We have a refugee program for people outside the United States. The asylum program is for people already in the United States.
Naturalizations
Lawful permanent residents can become U.S. citizens through naturalization. To do so, they must meet the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Nonimmigrant Admissions (Temporary Visitors)
The United States grants some nonimmigrants temporary admission into the United States. This includes tourists, business travelers, students, and temporary workers. It also includes people who represent foreign governments or international organizations.
Unauthorized Immigrants
Unauthorized immigrants are not authorized to be in the country. Most entered the country without inspection or were temporary residents who stayed past the date they were required to leave.
Immigration Enforcement
DHS enforces U.S. immigration laws. Enforcement actions include apprehending noncitizens who break U.S. immigration laws and sending them back to their country of origin.
