DHS Confirms Massive Deportation Success
President Donald Trump is delivering on his promise to remove illegal aliens from the United States, with the total dropping by 2 million since he took office.
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin confirmed to Just the News the breakdown of removals:
Deportation Numbers:
- 400,000 direct deportations by federal agencies
- 1.6 million self-deportations encouraged by administration policies
- 2 million total removals in the past 240 days
McLaughlin’s Statement: “We’re looking at about 2 million total in the past 240 days. That includes 1.6 million self-deportations, which we are very much encouraging illegal aliens to take. It’s a lot safer for the aliens themselves, for the public, for our law enforcement, and also it’s a lot better financially — a lot more tax savings for the U.S. taxpayer. And then in addition to that, there’s been about 400,000 deportations themselves, so totally, about 2 million, but we’re going to get those numbers up.”

McLaughlin made these remarks in an interview with this reporter for the “John Solomon Reports” podcast airing this week. Her update corroborates:

The Trump administration continues to deliver on key campaign promises across economic policy and border security, with measurable results benefiting American families and taxpayers.
