Raw data: Deportations under Trump and Biden

Immigration hawks say that Joe Biden has cut back on deportations. Biden partisans say he's been tougher on deportation than anyone in recent history. Who's right?

Both! Here are the stats:

In his first three years, Trump deported 408,000 migrants. Biden deported only 385,000.

But—in FY23 Biden deported 236,000 migrants, the highest total ever and far more than Trump ever deported in a single year.

On the other hand, Trump holds the record for deportations in a single month, at 29,204. Biden's highest month was last August, at 24,019.

On yet another hand, Biden is on track to beat Trump's single-term record, 633,000 to 572,000.

Bottom line: You can say anything you want and there's some statistic or another that will back you up. Probably the most honest thing you can say is that deportations are limited mostly by court capacity and don't have much to do with either Trump or Biden. But that's no fun.
