British Nationals Abroad: USA
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been deported from the USA to the UK in each year since 2016.
Answered by Mike Tapp
The UK and US have a bilateral arrangement to proactively share information about criminals being deported from the UK to US and the US to UK. This came into effect on 29 July 2020. International partners are not obliged to notify each other about the deportation or removal of individuals to another country. Notifications from the US to UK are received and processed by the ACRO Criminal Records Office (ACRO).
ACRO has recorded receipt of the following number of notifications from the US since 29 July 2020:
2020 (after 29 July) | 30 |
2021 | 51 |
2022 | 64 |
2023 | 99 |
2024 | 116 |
2025 | 211 |
The Home Office does not produce official statistics on this topic.
