Record deportations of Trump Administration: U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is deporting more than 1,400 immigrants daily, a record number that is being recorded as the number of arrests rises, according to a conservative media consolidator.
GOP spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt on Friday echoed the Washington Times article on the social networking site X.
According to the media, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has increased the number of arrests and deportations in the last two weeks.
In that period, approximately 930 migrants were detained daily, while more than 1,400 were forcibly removed each day from the United States, the newspaper said.
ICE currently has more than 60,000 immigrants in custody, according to the latest available data released earlier this week.
In this regard, the White House reported last Tuesday that the Trump Administration, arrested more than 300,000 undocumented immigrants in the first six months since its return to power.
Most of these immigration arrests, Leavitt told a press conference at the time, were of “foreign national offenders with prior charges or convictions”.
These figures, however, have not been independently verified.
“Despite numerous false reports in the media, nearly 70 percent of these arrests have been foreign national offenders with prior charges or convictions,” GOP spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt insisted at a press conference.
For Trump’s press secretary, these figures – which have not been independently verified – represent “a full-fledged success.”
Because they “remove the most dangerous threats to the public safety of U.S. communities and return these individuals to their countries of origin.”
Since his return to power last January, the president has stepped up his anti-immigration policy.
It has strengthened the mandate of agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
And president Trump has also pushed for increased arrests to fulfill his promise to carry out a historic campaign of mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.
