US Officials Removed 270,000 Migrants In One Year

US immigration authorities reported the removal of over 270,000 individuals during the last fiscal year, just weeks ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration, where he has proposed deporting millions of migrants…READ MORE…

This removal figure represents the highest annual total in the past decade, surpassing even the numbers seen during Trump’s first term in office.

According to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) report, most of those deported had entered the country illegally via the southern border. Approximately one-third of them had criminal convictions or were facing criminal charges.

The data covers the 12-month period ending in September, which coincided with the presidential campaign where Trump emphasized stringent immigration reform. He vowed to initiate the largest deportation operation in US history when he assumes office on January 20.

Trump’s promise, heavily based on the unfounded assertion that migrants are more prone to commit crimes than US citizens, resonated with a significant portion of voters. However, he has provided few specifics on the operational details, and experts indicate that such a plan would be both cost-prohibitive and unfeasible given current staffing levels.

“Every year, our workforce faces tremendous challenges, but they rise to meet them,” stated ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner.

Although illegal crossings surged following Biden’s inauguration, they significantly decreased in the past year as his administration tightened asylum-seeking rules.

Estimates suggest that between 11 and 15 million undocumented individuals reside in the United States, with Trump and his supporters claiming the actual number is much higher.

Many undocumented immigrants contribute to the workforce and pay taxes, often taking on challenging and dangerous jobs that citizens are reluctant to fill.

Critics of Trump’s proposed crackdown argue that mass deportations could harm the economy, leading to labor shortages in critical sectors such as housing, agriculture, and social services. Economists warn that such shortages could drive up prices and undermine one of Trump’s main campaign promises: to reduce inflation.
