Immigrants are defined as foreign-born residents, which includes people who became US citizens, are authorized to come to the US (e.g., on work visas, student visas), or are undocumented residents.
A complete view of immigration includes understanding how immigrants come to the US via authorized pathways like visas and green cards as well as attempted unauthorized routes.
Immigration issues were front and center in 2025. Refugee admissions and border crossing attempts decreased in fiscal year (FY) 2025 compared to 2024. Meanwhile, the number of people in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention was higher in December 2025 than in December 2024.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a subdivision of the Department of Homeland Security responsible for overseeing lawful immigration to the United States. The agency administers the nation's naturalization and immigration system, processes applications for citizenship, and manages the issuance of various immigration benefits.
ICE conducts investigations, detains and deports individuals who violate immigration laws, and works to dismantle criminal organizations involved in human trafficking, drug smuggling, and other illegal activities.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, aims to preserve American safety by detaining, deporting, and sometimes, convicting unauthorized immigrants.
