How many illegal aliens were deported from minnasoda under biden
Executive summary
There is no authoritative, public tally in the supplied reporting that states how many “illegal aliens” were deported specifically from Minnesota during the Biden administration; federal releases and news coverage describe targeted operations and national totals but do not provide a Minnesota-specific removal figure in these sources [1] [2] [3] [4]. Available material permits reporting what happened in Minnesota (mass enforcement operations and arrests) and what happened nationally under Biden (large numbers of removals and returns), but not a precise Minnesota deportation count from the Biden years based on the supplied documents [1] [5] [3].
1. What the federal releases in the record actually say about Minnesota enforcement
Department of Homeland Security and ICE statements in the files describe specific enforcement operations in Minnesota that removed or arrested people DHS labels “criminal illegal aliens,” including named cases and weekend sweeps, but those releases focus on individual arrests and high-profile operation descriptions rather than publishing a cumulative Minnesota removal total for the Biden period [1] [2] [6]. Press coverage documents dramatic deployments — including reports that as many as 2,000 federal agents were mobilized to the Minneapolis area for a sweeping operation — and notes large numbers of on-the-ground arrests in single operations, but again these accounts stop short of producing an official Minnesota-era tally for all Biden years [5] [7].
2. What national deportation/return data in these sources show (context, not a state figure)
Independent analyses and migration experts cited in the reporting show that the Biden years saw substantial removals and returns at the national level: for example, the Migration Policy Institute documented that after Title 42 ended the administration removed or returned roughly 775,000 unauthorized migrants in the 12 months that followed, and that Title 42 expulsions during the pandemic era accounted for some 3 million removals overall—most of those under Biden—though those are national figures, not Minnesota-specific [3]. Other sources note that federal reporting practices and classifications vary and that public federal data releases have become less detailed, making fine-grained state breakdowns more difficult to extract from national tallies [4].
3. Why a Minnesota-specific number is not in the supplied reporting
The documents in the record are a mix of DHS press statements highlighting particular arrests in Minnesota, news coverage of enforcement actions and protests, and national-level analyses; none publishes or cites a definitive, aggregated count of removals “from Minnesota under Biden.” DHS press releases emphasize high‑profile arrests and criminal histories [1] [2], watchdog pieces and researchers focus on national deportation totals and changing enforcement patterns [3] [4], and reporting about Minnesota probes the political and community impact of raids rather than offering a cumulative state figure [8] [7]. Therefore the supplied sources do not provide the specific numerical answer requested.
4. Competing narratives and motivations in the coverage
The materials show clear political and rhetorical framing: DHS and the Trump administration releases highlight “worst of the worst” arrests to justify large interior enforcement operations [1] [6], while investigative reporting and civil‑rights–oriented outlets draw attention to the social impact on Minnesota’s Somali and immigrant communities and to the reuse of older fraud prosecutions as justification for expanded raids [8] [7]. Legal commentators quoted in the record argue that statutory detention mandates exist but were applied selectively, indicating a policy debate about enforcement priorities and compliance with immigration law [9]. Readers should note these differing institutional agendas when interpreting counts and characterizations in the sources.
5. What a next step for a rigorous answer would be
To produce a verifiable Minnesota-specific deportation total for the Biden administration would require access to disaggregated federal removal data broken down by state and fiscal year (ICE/DHS removal tables or TRAC/Deportation Data Project downloads), or a DHS/ICE statement giving that aggregate; the supplied sources do not include such a disaggregated dataset, and several items warn that federal reporting has become less granular publicly available, complicating state-level tallies [4] [3]. Until such a dataset is produced or cited, any precise number for “how many illegal aliens were deported from Minnesota under Biden” cannot be confirmed from the documents provided.
