Power Line by Bill Glahn 9/27/2025
“More than 2 million illegal immigrants residing in the United States have chosen to self-deport or been forcibly removed from the country since President Donald Trump took office.”
That amazing statistic comes courtesy of the Washington Examiner, as reported by the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS). The Examiner reports,
The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday morning that more than 400,000 illegal immigrants had been deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement since late January.
The DHS anticipates hitting 600,000 ICE deportations by Jan. 20, 2026. Trump had vowed to hit 1 million in that time.
An additional 1.6 million people chose to leave the U.S. rather than face arrest, detention, and deportation by the government.
You should take into account that the 400,000 was acheived ramping up from essentially zero in January.
