Without having a full 12 months, and while facing the first part of the first month when illegal aliens were still being allowed to freely walk into the country, Donald Trump is set to break the record for deportations in a single year. So far, they have documented 1.6 million people have self-deported while the government has deported 400,000 more. The government expects to deport 600,000 by the end of the year.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital “Illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequence. Migrants are now even turning back before they reach our borders. In the face of a historic number of injunctions from activist judges, ICE, CBP, and the U.S. Coast Guard have made historic progress to carry out President Trump’s promise of arresting and deporting illegal aliens who have invaded our country.”
The Trump Administration says it is currently on track to “shatter” the record number of deportations by the end of the first year of President Trump’s second term, after reporting more than two million removals since January 20.
Fox’s Dana Perino broke down the numbers during a segement this morning.
