A Look At The U.S. Citizens Who Have Been Deported By The Trump Administration So Far

A new Washington Post investigation shows that at least 12 U.S. citizens have been wrongfully detained or deported this year, including minors.

The Trump administration is cramming to fulfill its mass deportation promises of ousting around 1 million immigrants this year alone. But as they race to meet those numbers, mistakes have been made, resulting in over a dozen U.S. citizens being swept up in the system.

The true scope of U.S. citizens wrongfully deported is not known as the federal government does not release data on how often members of this group are mistakenly detained or even removed from the country. However, The Washington Post estimated that there are at least 12 well-known cases, drawing conclusions from court records, interviews and news reports.
