Trump Deportation Drive Expands, Interior Removals Outpace Biden

A New York Times analysis finds that in the last year the Trump administration deported about 230,000 people arrested inside the U.S. and about 270,000 at the border, bringing total deportations since he took office to roughly 540,000—more than Biden’s interior totals—while border crossings fell to record lows. DHS’ broader tallies suggest higher numbers when including all repatriations, and the piece notes counting complexities (ICE vs CBP, removals vs repatriations) along with a rise in at-large arrests and roughly 40,000 self-deportations via a CBP app.
