Migration Policy Institute report estimates 980,000 deportations in first 18 months of Trump's second term
A Migration Policy Institute analysis released Thursday estimated the Trump administration carried out 980,000 deportations in the first 18 months of Trump's second term, including about 660,000 in the most recent fiscal year. The figure falls short of the administration's stated goal of 1 million deportations annually. The report relied on records obtained through public-records requests after DHS stopped releasing detailed deportation statistics.
