Fact check: How many us citizens were deported during biden administations.

1. Summary of the results

The analyses reveal a critical gap in available data regarding US citizens deported during the Biden administration. While multiple sources provide extensive deportation statistics, none specifically quantify how many US citizens were deported under Biden's presidency.

The available data shows that over 271,000 immigrants were deported from the US over the last fiscal year under Biden, representing the largest number in nearly a decade ^[1]. Additionally, ICE deported around 11,000 migrants in February 2025 and nearly 4,300 immigrants were deported after being arrested by ICE ^[2]. However, these figures encompass all deportations, not specifically US citizens.

The sources do reference at least seven US citizen children who were deported with their parents under the Trump administration ^[3], and document cases where three US citizen children were deported to Honduras with their parents despite their American citizenship ^[4]. One source also mentions children being ordered deported without legal representation during the Biden administration ^[5], but provides no specific numbers.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question assumes that US citizens are being deported in significant numbers during the Biden administration, but the analyses reveal no concrete evidence or statistics to support this premise. The sources primarily focus on:

• Overall deportation numbers that include non-citizens and legal immigrants
• Historical cases from the Trump administration where US citizens were wrongfully deported
• Procedural issues in immigration courts affecting children

Immigration advocacy organizations would benefit from highlighting cases of wrongful deportation to demonstrate systemic problems and push for policy reforms ^{[5] [6]}. Conversely, immigration enforcement agencies and political figures supporting stricter policies would benefit from emphasizing high overall deportation numbers without distinguishing between citizens and non-citizens ^[1].

The analyses also reveal that wrongful deportations of US citizens appear to be primarily documented during the Trump administration rather than Biden's tenure ^{[6] [4] [7]}, suggesting the question may be based on outdated or misattributed information.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains a fundamental factual assumption that may be incorrect. By asking "how many US citizens were deported during Biden administration," it presupposes that such deportations are occurring in measurable numbers, but none of the analyzed sources provide evidence of systematic deportation of US citizens under Biden.

The question may reflect confusion between different types of deportation statistics or conflation of historical cases with current policies. The sources show that documented cases of US citizen deportations primarily occurred under previous administrations ^{[3] [4] [7]}.

Additionally, the question lacks important legal context: US citizens cannot be legally deported from the United States under normal circumstances, as deportation is a process specifically designed for non-citizens. Cases where US citizens are "deported" typically involve administrative errors, lack of proper documentation, or wrongful detention rather than legitimate deportation proceedings.

The framing of the question may inadvertently perpetuate misinformation about current immigration enforcement practices by suggesting that citizen deportations are a significant policy issue under the Biden administration when the available evidence does not support this claim.
