Trump’s Deportation Numbers Still Lag Behind Biden’s

Axios reports:

The Trump administration’s pace of removing immigrants from the U.S. continues to lag behind Joe Biden’s pace last year, even as detentions have jumped under President Trump, new numbers show. The pace of removals under Trump is actually slowing compared to his first two weeks in office, despite several high-profile raids and the targeting of foreign students as part of a sweeping immigration crackdown.

In Trump’s first full six weeks in office, the administration removed 27,772 immigrants from the U.S., according to data from the ICE detention management database and collected by the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. That’s a daily average of 661 removals — an 11% decrease from the daily average of 742 under President Biden last fiscal year.
