A new conservative analysis shared with Fox News Digital highlights that only a small percentage of illegal immigrants have been deported by ICE under the Biden administration.
FIRST ON FOX: Removals of illegal immigrants from the U.S. interior are sharply down during the Biden administration compared to the Trump administration, a new analysis is revealing, just as the administration and some in the media highlight that its removal numbers overall are increasing.
During the Biden-Harris administration, there have been more than 9.6 million encounters, a significantly higher number. But just 4.4% of those, or 406,638, have been removed by ICE. The analysis uses ICE official data, which showed that fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 saw more than 250,000 ICE removals a year before dropping to 185,000 in fiscal 2020 and just 59,011 in fiscal 2021 during the COVID pandemic. It has since risen to 72,177 in fiscal 2022 and 142,580 in fiscal 2023.
Those articles and the administration itself have pointed to overall Department of Homeland Security returns and removals, including those conducted by Customs and Border Protection , in which a migrant can quickly be turned back at the border before being released. Both articles note that ICE deportations alone are down from the Trump era. When CBP removals are included, numbers are sharply higher after the end of Title 42 in May last year, when expulsions increased significantly.
Border crossings are down. And one of the reasons is her assignment was diplomacy, and she did a lot of work in other countries to try to stop the flow,' former White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri told Politico. 'And the numbers are down.' It's a narrative that conservatives, including Republicans in Congress, are pushing back against.
