Under President Trump’s second term, the deportation machine is roaring to life, set to eject 600,000 illegal migrants in the first year alone, according to data given to the New York Post. Fresh numbers straight from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) paint a picture of
The real knockout punch? Over two million illegal migrants have packed up and vanished from U.S. soil since January, per DHS.
Federal agents aren’t messing around. They’ve hauled in more than 457,000 illegal immigrants so far, and insiders are clear: this is “just the beginning” of a full-throttle purge.
Trump and his Homeland Security chief, Kristi Noem, lit a fire under an agency that had low morale under the Biden admin. As DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin put it, they “jumpstarted an agency that was vilified and barred from doings its job for the last four years.”
Tally it up: 493,000 illegal aliens deported since inauguration day. Add in 1.6 million who got the memo and bolted on their own—no fanfare, just gone.
McLaughlin stated: “Illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequence. Migrants are now even turning back before they reach our borders.”
Flash back to the Biden admin and there were 271,000 removals in his final year, which is higher than the 142,000 removals the year before.
Now? The agency’s locked it down tight. Back in September, they dropped the hammer: zero illegal border crossers released into the country for four straight months. As they declared, “the era of open borders is over.”
This isn’t some cushy desk job for the agents on the front lines. In sanctuary cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland, they’re dodging attacks from anti-ICE demonstrators and various criminals.
Assaults on ICE officers skyrocketed 1,000% this year. Texas alone saw three brutal ambushes in the past three months, turning streets into war zones.
Take the latest outrage: a twisted 29-year-old named Joshua Jahn unloaded a hail of bullets at an immigration center in Dallas, gunning for ICE agents. He missed them but gunned down two migrants.
Up in Chicago, the Windy City’s turning into a battlefield for the rule of law. Just this week, rioters squared off with agents outside an ICE facility located in Broadview.
It gets uglier. On the South Side, a mob of thugs used their cars to trap officers.
Chicago’s top brass ordered cops to sit on their hands, ghosting desperate calls for backup from the feds. The department is denying these accusations.
