Trump Administration Reports 1 Million Deportations Amid Rising ICE Arrests
· World · Hindustan Times, NDTV
The US administration has reported that approximately 1 million people have been deported during President Donald Trump's second term. While official statistics are no longer published, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests reached record highs of 43,000 in June and nearly 50,000 in July. This surge follows a $70 billion funding package for immigration enforcement approved by Congress in June. The current deportation campaign marks a shift from early 2026, when the Department of Homeland Security faced leadership changes and a temporary shutdown following fatal immigration raids in Minneapolis. Markwayne Mullin currently serves as the DHS secretary, replacing Kristi Noem.
