    Deportations from US increasing

    By Noreen Bowden | November 19, 2008

    The number of undocumented Irish people being deported from the United States has been increasing steadily, according to news reports.

    So far this year, there have been 58 people deported from the US; This contrasts with a total annual figure of 53 in 2007, and 41 in 2006.

    This increase in Irish deportees  is in line with rising figures for total deportations from the US, as the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials increase enforcement and coordinate with other agencies.
