A new report by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) has found that the Trump administration has deported fewer immigrants on average per day than the Biden administration but has outpaced its predecessor in arrests. The findings are based on official Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data.
According to TRAC, daily immigrant removals from January 26, six days into the Trump administration, through February 8 averaged 693, which is 6.5% lower than the daily average of 742 during Biden's last full fiscal year in office (FY 2024). When removals through March 8 were included, the daily average under Trump further declined to 661—nearly 11% below Biden's numbers.
