District of Arizona charges over 10,000 people for immigration-related conduct in 2025
PHOENIX (KYMA) - The U.S. Attorney's Office District of Arizona said it has brought charges to over 10,000 people for immigration-related conduct.
Cases were filed between January 20, 2025 through December 26, 2025.
The following were filed:
- 5,128 cases where people illegally re-entered the U.S.
- 4,260 cases where people illegally entered the U.S.
- 638 cases against those involved with human smuggling
- 17 cases for assaults on federal officers
“President Trump promised to secure our border, and the District of Arizona has delivered,” said U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine. “Thanks to the leadership of the President and Attorney General Bondi, law enforcement and federal prosecutors have been empowered to uphold the laws they swore to protect, including immigration laws. Through increased presence, a 97% prosecution rate, and commitments to real criminal penalties, fewer people are crossing the border illegally so fewer traffickers can exploit them. The District of Arizona has proven that the dedicated men and women of the DOJ will go as far as they must to secure our homeland.”
