According to DHS officials, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are on pace to deport almost 600,000 illegal aliens by the end of Trump’s first year in his second term.
Broken down more specifically, DHS officials say an estimated 1.6 million illegal aliens have self-deported from the U.S., while ICE agents have deported more than 400,000 illegal aliens.

Altogether, DHS officials say two million illegal aliens have been deported in fewer than 250 days.
“The numbers don’t lie: Two million illegal aliens have been removed or self-deported in just 250 days — proving that President Trump’s policies and Secretary Noem’s leadership are working and making American communities safe,” DHS’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement:
Ramped-up immigration enforcement targeting the worst of the worst is removing more and more criminal illegal aliens off our streets every day and is sending a clear message to anyone else in this country illegally: Self-deport or we will arrest and deport you.

DHS officials also touted that the agency has released zero illegal aliens into the U.S. interior from the southern border for four consecutive months — a massive turnaround from the Biden years, when hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens were being released every month.
Self-deportations have been a major focus of Trump’s second term.
Under Trump, DHS created the CBP Home mobile app where illegal aliens can report their self-deportation from the U.S., secure a free flight home and travel assistance, and receive a $1,000 stipend when they can prove they have returned to their home country.
