Trump administration deports more than 100,000 illegal migrants in first 70 days of second term

President Donald Trump's new administration has deported over 100,000 illegal migrants since taking office on January 20, and arrested more than 110,000.

The numbers are a combination of arrests and deportations by both U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), an ICE official told Just The News on Tuesday. 

The news comes as illegal border crossings hit a new low under the Trump administration, with Border Patrol reportedly encountering just 7,181 migrants in March, Trump's border czar Tom Homan posted on X.

"It is a far cry from the more than 11,000 a day that we saw for a time period under Biden," Homan said. "The men and women of the Border Patrol have proven what they can accomplish when they are allowed to do their job and complete the mission of their agency."

It is not clear how many of the people arrested have been convicted of committing crimes outside of being in the U.S. illegally, or have been accused of crimes. The Trump administration said its first priority was deporting violent criminals.
