Fact check: How many us citizens have been deported and returned to us

1. Summary of the results

The available analyses do not provide a comprehensive answer to the question of how many US citizens have been deported and returned to the US ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}. However, according to one source, between 2015 and 2020, 70 potential US citizens were deported by mistake ^[9]. Additionally, ICE arrested 674 potential US citizens, detained 121, and deported 70 during that time frame, with the true number potentially being higher due to incomplete records ^[9]. Other sources report on individual cases of wrongful deportation, such as Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez ^{[3] [4] [5]}, but do not provide a comprehensive number of US citizens who have been deported and returned to the US.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

• The analyses provided do not offer a clear explanation of the process for returning wrongly deported US citizens to the US ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}.
• There is a lack of information on the total number of US citizens who have been deported and the number of those who have been returned to the US ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}.
• Alternative viewpoints, such as the impact of immigration policies on US citizens and the efficacy of current deportation procedures, are not thoroughly discussed in the provided analyses ^{[1] [9] [2]}.
• The sources do not provide a detailed analysis of the consequences of wrongful deportation on the individuals affected and their families ^{[3] [4] [5]}.
• Immigrant advocacy groups, such as the American Immigration Council, may benefit from highlighting the issue of wrongful deportation to push for immigration policy reforms ^[9].
• Government agencies, such as ICE, may benefit from downplaying the issue of wrongful deportation to maintain public support for their policies ^{[1] [3] [4] [5]}.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading due to the lack of comprehensive data on the number of US citizens who have been deported and returned to the US ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}. The available analyses suggest that wrongful deportations have occurred, but the exact number of US citizens affected is unclear ^[9]. Immigrant advocacy groups may benefit from emphasizing the issue of wrongful deportation to criticize current immigration policies ^[9], while government agencies may benefit from downplaying the issue to maintain public support ^{[1] [3] [4] [5]}.
