Immigrant removals continue slide under Trump, new data show

Source: Axios

“The Trump administration’s pace of removing immigrants from the U.S. continues to lag behind Joe Biden’s pace last year, even as detentions have jumped under President Trump, new numbers show. … In Trump’s first full six weeks in office, the administration removed 27,772 immigrants from the U.S., according to data from the ICE detention management database and collected by the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). That’s a daily average of 661 removals — an 11% decrease from the daily average of 742 under President Biden last fiscal year. From Jan. 26 to Feb. 8, the Trump administration removed an average of 693 immigrants daily, a 6.5% decline from Biden’s last days in office.” (04/01/25)
