The US deported over 270,000 immigrants in a year, marking the highest annual total in a decade. The deportation figures are nearly double those from the previous year, reflecting a significant pivot in enforcement policy under the Biden administration. Such measures were introduced amidst increasing illegal immigration rates, showcasing a stark contrast to Biden’s initial intentions to ease regulations inherited from the Trump era.
ICE deported individuals to 192 countries in the fiscal year 2024, indicating a broad and aggressive strategy to manage illegal immigration. By employing more deportation flights, including on weekends, the agency significantly increased its effectiveness. The number of deportations now exceeds those seen during Trump's term, demonstrating the Biden administration's tougher stance amidst rising illegal immigration.
Despite Biden's efforts to reduce the tougher measures from the Trump era, the surge in illegal immigration has triggered a more stringent enforcement approach, juxtaposing his initial pledges to roll back aggressive policies. The numbers released indicate a complex narrative of increasing deportations that contradicts the administration's prior commitments towards a more humane immigration policy, stirring debates within political spheres.
