President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants residing in the United States, but the pace of deportations has held steady compared to last year, according to an analysis of deportation flight data. The data, provided by an advocacy group tracking ICE flights, reveals that the number of deportation flights under the Biden administration remains similar to those under Trump.
Trump administration officials have emphasized their immigration enforcement efforts, showcasing arrests and migrants boarding flights for deportation. Removals across the US southern border to Mexico have continued, contributing to the overall number of removals. The Trump administration's goals of detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants have faced challenges due to limited resources.
