The Truth About Deportations

Recent claims regarding President Trump's deportation numbers suggest he is not as effective as Joe Biden, but actual data contradicts that narrative. Under Trump's administration, illegal border crossings have reportedly dropped by 90% compared to the previous year, leading to only 359 illegal aliens being processed daily at the southern border. Critics in the media, like Newsweek, argue that Biden's deportation rates are better; however, this comparison misrepresents the data by including repatriations, which do not reflect actual deportations. Analysis shows that Biden’s maximum deportation figure was just under 48,000 in fiscal year 2024, leaving room for Trump to outperform significantly if the current trends continue.
