Nearly 1 Million Deported from US Under Trump 2.0: Analysis
The figure falls short of the Trump administration’s stated goal of 1 million deportations annually.
An analysis by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) estimates that nearly 980,000 deportations occurred during the first 18 months of President Donald Trump's second term, falling short of the administration's goal of deporting 1 million undocumented immigrants annually. The majority of these deportations, about two-thirds, involved individuals encountered at the U.S. border.
The MPI projects that around 620,000 deportations will occur in fiscal year 2025 and approximately 660,000 in fiscal year 2026, which would be 26% higher than the annual average during the Biden administration. The increase in deportations is attributed to the additional funding received by the administration to expand immigration enforcement under its "One Big Beautiful Bill."
