Biden administration increases deportations significantly in fiscal year 2024

The Biden administration has significantly increased deportations of illegal migrants, with nearly 68,000 removals in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. This represents a 70% rise compared to the same period in 2023 and a continuation of a trend from earlier in the year. In total, over 200,000 foreign nationals have been removed in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2024, up from about 142,500 in all of fiscal year 2023. This marks a stark contrast to the administration's initial approach, which included a temporary moratorium on deportations. The shift in policy comes amid rising public demand for stricter immigration enforcement. As the Biden administration tightens its stance, former President Trump has announced plans for an extensive deportation program if he returns to office.
