Fact check: How many immigrants have been deported during the second trump administration?

Checked on September 11, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about the number of immigrants deported during the second Trump administration. However, it is crucial to note that there was no second Trump administration, as Donald Trump served only one term as President of the United States from 2017 to 2021 [1]. Despite this, some sources provide information on deportation numbers during Trump's presidency. According to [2], during the first 100 days of what is referred to as President Donald J. Trump's second term, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed 65,682 aliens, including criminals who threaten public safety and national security [2]. Similarly, [2] reports that during the first 100 days of President Trump's second term, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed 65,682 aliens [2]. However, these claims seem to be inconsistent with the fact that there was no second Trump administration. Other sources, such as [1] and [3], do not provide information on the number of immigrants deported during the second Trump administration [1] [3]. Additionally, [4] reports that deportations under President Trump are lower than under President Biden, with an average of 600 per day compared to 750 per day under Biden [4].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key missing context in the original statement is the acknowledgment that there was no second Trump administration [1]. This omission leads to confusion and inconsistency in the provided analyses. Alternative viewpoints suggest that the Trump administration's immigration policies had significant impacts on local economies and led to an increase in immigration raids at worksites [5]. Moreover, some sources highlight the pressure on ICE to increase the number of immigrants it is arresting, which has resulted in broad sweeps in places frequented by immigrants [6]. It is also important to consider the lawsuits and court rulings related to Trump's immigration policies, which have faced significant challenges [7]. The American Immigration Council, for instance, has reported on the economic impacts of Trump's immigration actions and the effects on local economies [5]. On the other hand, the Trump administration's supporters might argue that the increased deportations and immigration enforcement are necessary for national security and public safety [2].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may contain potential misinformation or bias, as it assumes the existence of a second Trump administration, which is not accurate [1]. This inaccuracy may benefit those who wish to criticize or undermine the Trump administration's immigration policies by creating confusion and misinformation. On the other hand, sources like [2] and [2], which report on the deportation numbers during the first 100 days of Trump's second term, may be seen as biased towards supporting the Trump administration's immigration policies [2]. The American Immigration Council, which has reported on the economic impacts of Trump's immigration actions, may be seen as having a liberal bias [5]. In contrast, sources like [4], which report on the comparison between Trump and Biden's deportation numbers, may be seen as having a more neutral or fact-based approach [4]. Ultimately, it is essential to consider multiple sources and evaluate the potential biases and misinformation in each analysis to form a comprehensive understanding of the topic [1] [3] [2] [8] [7] [4] [5] [6].
