From Fox News:

Since Trump’s return to the Oval Office on Jan. 20, the administration has deported over 515,000 illegal aliens, according to a high-ranking official at the Department of Homeland Security.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital the administration is “on pace to shatter historic records” by deporting 600,000 illegals by the end of Trump’s first year back in office. She said that in total, more than two million illegal aliens have left the U.S., including 1.6 million who voluntarily self-deported, as well as the over 515,000 deportations. Another 485,000 illegal aliens have been arrested by DHS since Trump took office.

McLaughlin said that “this is just the beginning” and that Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “have jumpstarted an agency that was vilified and barred from doing its job for the last four years.”

President Trump has made deportations, specifically deportations of criminal illegal aliens, a key part of his administration. Over the weekend, the DHS reportedly said it continued its sweep of the “worst of the worst” during the government shutdown, arresting migrants convicted of rape, assault, kidnapping, and other heinous crimes.

As President Trump cracks down on illegal aliens, would-be migrants are receiving the message. In her statement to Fox, McLaughlin also noted that crossings through Panama’s Darien Gap have dropped by 99.99% since the President took office.

As the Trump administration continues to deport criminals and make America safer, let’s pray for our ICE agents and law enforcement as they fight on the front lines against illegal immigration.
