President Trump is making good on his promise to bring back law and order at the southern border — and the numbers prove it. According to a new report citing DHS officials, the Trump administration has deported over 100,000 illegal migrants since Inauguration Day.
That staggering figure puts Trump well on pace to deliver on what he called the largest deportation operation in American history. After four years of Biden-era chaos at the border, this is a radical course correction — and exactly what millions of voters demanded.
An ICE official told the New York Post, “He’s doing what he was voted in to do. Point blank!”
The 100,000 deportations follow 113,000 immigration arrests and a border crackdown that’s driven illegal crossings down to record lows. In March, Border Patrol recorded just 7,180 encounters, the lowest ever — a 96% drop from Biden’s peak in December 2023. For comparison, the monthly average under Biden was a staggering 155,000.
This is more than a policy shift — it’s a restoration of sovereignty.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has taken a prominent role in carrying out Trump’s orders, including high-profile deportations of gang-affiliated migrants to facilities like the notorious El Salvador mega prison. Using Title 8 and even the historic Alien Enemies Act, the Trump administration has expelled dozens of Venezuelan criminals detained at Guantánamo Bay — a stark reversal from Biden’s catch-and-release disaster.
Many of the deported migrants include members of Tren de Aragua, Venezuela’s most violent transnational gang, which had gained a foothold in U.S. cities thanks to Biden’s open-border negligence. Under Trump, that sanctuary is over.
And the president isn’t stopping there. Since returning to office, Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders:
- Ending birthright citizenship
- Halting refugee admissions
- Suspending Biden’s border parole app
- Resuming the border wall
- Declaring a national emergency
All of it is part of Trump’s full-court press to dismantle Biden’s border legacy and bring back legal immigration on America’s terms.
Critics on the left are scrambling to spin the numbers, but the truth is hard to ignore: America is regaining control of its borders, and criminals and cartels are no longer calling the shots.
With the deportation machine now fully operational and crossings at historic lows, Trump’s second term is already proving that America First immigration policy works.
