What happened
A report released on October 22, 2026, found that Donald Trump’s administration deported about 660,000 people over the past year, according to publicly available data obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. This figure is an increase from 620,000 during the first year of the second administration. The administration had previously promised that billions of dollars received from Congress would allow for 1 million deportations annually.

Why it matters
The analysis found that the Department of Homeland Security carried out 980,000 deportations during the first 18 months of the second administration. The increased arrests and enforcement efforts are fueled by billions of dollars allocated to supercharge the immigration agenda, which has led to high-profile arrest operations.
The administration is pushing forward a mass deportation agenda, amid criticism of a US asylum seeker plan.
