A Migration Policy Institute report found the United States carried out about 980,000 deportations in the first 18 months of Donald Trump's second term.
- The report counted roughly 980,000 deportations between January 20, 2025, and July 31, 2026.
- Some 20 percent of deportees had criminal convictions, while 71 percent of those who had lived in the US at least two years had none.
- The State Department said Tuesday the administration had cancelled more than 300,000 US entry visas during its second term.
- Trump said the deportation campaign aims to strengthen US internal security.
