Date: July 27th, 2025 7:13 PM Author: ,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,:,,:,,.,:::,.,,.,:.,,.:.,:.,:.::,. 🎯 2025 Deportations Under President Trump (Second Term) • As of April 2025, official figures claim approximately 140,000 deportations, though independent estimates suggest the actual total may be closer to 70,000 or 80,000 . • A Guardian analysis (through July 2025) reports over 127,000 removals since January, with more than 239,000 total deportations during Trump’s current term—still fewer than the 341,000 deported under Biden for the same period in 2024 .
⸻
📈 Comparison: Trump’s 2025 Term vs. Biden (2024) • Biden, 2024 (same timeframe): ~341,000 deportations  • Trump, Jan–July 2025: ~239,000 deportations (officially, 140,000 claimed; but discrepancies between government figures and independent counts)  
➡️ Despite aggressive rhetoric and infrastructure expansion, Trump’s deportation numbers during his second term appear lower than Biden’s during the comparable period.
⸻
🕰️ Comparison to Trump’s First Term (2017–2021) • During first term, ICE removals averaged roughly 240,000–300,000 annually (exact figures vary), still far short of Trump’s goal of 1 million per year  . • His second term so far has seen slower monthly rates, even after ramp-ups in enforcement and detention capacity  .
