order rates began over 20 years ago. Standard rates for the issuance of
removal orders after receiving DHS requests is between 70 and 80
percent. In 2009, deportation orders were issued for about 76 percent of
requests. The rate, started to fall in FY 2011 to 70 percent. By FY
2012, the rate was 62 percent and last year the rate dropped further to
just 52.9 percent.

highest in Georgia and Louisiana; both states saw a more than 80 percent
success rate. Rates were lowest in New York and Oregon, where success
rates were less than 30 percent. View the full report with detailed
