Since returning to the White House, President Donald Trump has made good on his promise to tackle illegal immigration and criminal activity at the U.S. southern border with a renewed commitment to enforcing immigration laws. Within the first few months of his second term, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has carried out over 100,000 deportations, marking a significant increase in the number of individuals removed from the United States. These numbers reflect a concerted effort by the Trump administration to follow through on campaign promises made to voters, particularly those concerned with illegal immigration and public safety.

According to a report released earlier this week by the New York Post, ICE has arrested 113,000 individuals and deported over 100,000 since January 20, 2025, when Trump assumed office once again. The source within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) emphasized that these efforts are a direct response to the president’s promises, asserting, “He’s doing what he was voted in to do. Point blank!” The pace of these deportations signals a dramatic shift in how the U.S. government is addressing illegal immigration under Trump, particularly compared to the more lenient stance taken during the Biden administration.
