Fact check: Est-ce qu'il y a eu depuis le début de l'année plus de 100000 déportations d'immigrant cette année au États unis.

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available analyses, the claim that there have been more than 100,000 deportations of immigrants in the United States since the beginning of the year appears to be accurate. The most specific data comes from ICE statistics showing that between January 1 and June 11, 2025, ICE deported 106,463 people, with 48,578 of them being deported to Mexico ^[1]. This figure already exceeds the 100,000 threshold mentioned in the original question.

Additional supporting evidence comes from UN Human Rights data indicating that approximately 142,000 people were expelled from the United States between January 20 and April 29 ^[2]. Another source reports that the Trump administration has removed roughly half a million people this year, though this is described as fewer than the 685,000 deportations recorded in fiscal year 2024 under President Biden ^[3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks several important contextual elements:

• Historical comparison: The current deportation numbers are actually lower than the previous administration's record, with Biden's administration achieving 685,000 deportations in fiscal year 2024 ^[3]. This suggests that while the numbers are high, they represent a continuation rather than an unprecedented escalation.
• Policy mechanisms: The analyses reveal multiple deportation pathways including traditional ICE operations, expedited removal processes ^[4], and voluntary self-deportation programs where DHS offers financial and travel assistance through the CBP Home App ^[5].
• Detention capacity: The Trump administration has increased ICE detention capacity to nearly or more than 58,000 people in the U.S. interior ^[1], indicating significant infrastructure investment in deportation operations.
• Legal status changes: Beyond physical deportations, the administration terminated the legal status of more than 500,000 Latin American migrants ^[6], which could lead to future deportations.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question appears factually accurate but potentially misleading in its framing:

• Lack of historical context: By focusing solely on the current year's numbers without comparison to previous administrations, the question may create an impression of unprecedented action when the data shows current deportation rates are actually lower than the previous year ^[3].
• Missing policy continuity: The question doesn't acknowledge that mass deportation operations have been ongoing across multiple administrations, with the Trump administration promising "the largest expulsion campaign in U.S. history" ^[4] but not yet achieving record-breaking numbers.
• Incomplete data transparency: Several sources note that data on removals through expedited removal processes have not been made public ^[4], suggesting the actual numbers could be higher than reported, which benefits those seeking to either minimize or maximize perceived deportation impacts.

The question's framing could serve political narratives on both sides - immigration advocates might use it to highlight enforcement intensity, while administration supporters might point to the lower-than-previous-year numbers to demonstrate measured approach.
