| Trump is actually on pace to deport less than Biden. The reason Trump appears to be deporting more is due to the theatrics of heavy military force with each deportation, the suspension of law in apprehensions, and the escalating costs involved to making the deportations dramatic.
The claim of targeting the violent non working criminals does not fit the actual workings of ICE. Targeting Home Depot’s will not find non workers. While targeting LA county will definitely bring theatrical headlines, San Bernardino is the home for many Ms-13.
Based on available data, **Trump’s second term (January 2025–present) is not deporting more people than the Biden administration (2021–2024)**
- **Biden Administration (2021–2024)**: Biden oversaw approximately **4.4 million repatriations**, including **1.5 million formal deportations** and **3 million expulsions** under Title 42 (March 2020–May 2023). In fiscal year 2024 (ending September 30, 2024), ICE deported **271,484 immigrants**, with a daily average of about **742 removals**. February 2024 saw **12,000 deportations**.[](https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record)[](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c36e41dx425o)[](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/19/deportations-biden-trump)
- **Trump’s Second Term (January 2025–present)**: In Trump’s first month (February 2025), ICE deported **11,000 immigrants**, fewer than Biden’s February 2024 total. By April 2025, deportations rose to **17,200**, surpassing Biden’s April 2024 figure of **13,300** (a 29% increase). The daily average through March 8, 2025, was **661 removals**, about 11% below Biden’s FY 2024 average of 742.
Estimates suggest Trump’s administration is on track to deport around **500,000 people annually**, compared to Biden’s **685,000 in FY 2024**.[](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-deported-fewer-people-biden-year-ago-border-crossings-plummeted-rcna195605)[](https://www.axios.com/2025/04/01/immigrant-removals-deportations-trump)[](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-ramped-deportations-still-far-wants-rcna209262)
**Key Factors**:
- **Enforcement Focus**: Trump’s focus on interior enforcement (e.g., 4,300 interior deportations in February 2025 vs. 2,100 in February 2024 under Biden) is more resource-intensive, slowing overall deportation numbers.[](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-deported-fewer-people-biden-year-ago-border-crossings-plummeted-rcna195605)[](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/04/us/politics/trump-immigration-policies-deportations-data.html)
- **Resources**: Trump has increased detention capacity (44,000 detainees by February 2025) and deportation flights (6–6.5 per day by April 2025), but limited ICE resources and staffing constrain the pace. Military flights and agreements with countries like Guatemala and El Salvador have boosted capacity but not yet surpassed Biden’s totals.[](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-ramped-deportations-still-far-wants-rcna209262)[](https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/politics/deportation-flights-trump-biden-dg/index.html)
**Conclusion**: As of May 2025, Trump’s deportation numbers lag behind Biden’s, primarily due to the challenges of interior enforcement. However, April 2025 data shows Trump outpacing Biden for that month, suggesting a potential increase if resources and policies scale up. Comprehensive data for Trump’s full term is still limited.[](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-ramped-deportations-still-far-wants-rcna209262) | |
