During the first seven months of Donald Trump's second presidential term, authorities deported nearly 350,000 immigrants, according to a report from CNN. This surge in deportations highlights the administration's ongoing focus on immigration enforcement.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was responsible for about 200,000 of these deportations, while Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded over 132,000 removals. Additionally, approximately 17,500 individuals opted for self-deportation, reflecting a complex dynamic in the enforcement landscape.
The frequency of immigrant arrests within the United States has fluctuated between 1,000 and 2,000 per day. This rate remains below the White House's target of 3,000 arrests daily, indicating challenges in meeting enforcement goals. The current figures are part of a broader strategy focused on stricter immigration policies.
As the Trump administration continues to prioritize immigration enforcement, the implications for both undocumented immigrants and broader U.S. immigration policy remain significant.
