Joe Biden Fudged the Numbers—Trump’s Deportation Machine Sets the Record Straight
By Red Voice Media / May 5, 2025
President Donald Trump’s administration is reporting a sharp rise in immigration enforcement actions during its first 100 days in office, outpacing the Biden-Harris administration’s real deportation numbers by a wide margin once misclassified data is accounted for.
Officials are also pointing to a significant decline in illegal border crossings and a surge in self-deportations as a result of renewed enforcement.
According to new data released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Trump’s administration has removed 65,682 illegal aliens and arrested 66,463 since January.
The rate of deportations now stands at approximately 660 per day—five times higher than the adjusted rate under the Biden-Harris administration, which had included “turnarounds” at the border in its deportation statistics.
A detailed analysis shows that over 80% of the 271,484 deportations claimed by the Biden administration in fiscal year 2024 were not ICE removals from the interior but were instead apprehensions by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the southern border.
These border turnbacks—classified as “returns” or “expulsions” by CBP—are not counted as deportations under standard ICE practice.
