The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
May 10, 2021: The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency deported 2,962 immigrants in April. That’s down 20% from the prior month and the lowest total on record. The Washington Post notes that this decline “comes as illegal border crossings remain at a 20-year high.”[1]
Approximately 1.2 million immigrants living illegally in the United States have been ordered by a judge to leave the country.[1]
According to The Washington Post, "Deportation figures fell sharply starting in March 2020 when the Trump administration implemented the public health order known as Title 42, allowing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to rapidly return most illegal crossers to Mexico. The U.S. government has used the order to 'expel' roughly 700,000 border-crossers over the past 13 months, but the procedure is not officially recorded as a deportation, which ICE calls 'removals.'"[1]
