The reported estimate of undocumented people in the United States of America (2024) IS 14 to 15 .8 MILLION people…..
President Trump Immigration campaign ‘muscle’ man Stephen Miller has boasted he want 3,000 detentions PER DAY…..
That would come up to about a Million + a year….
Reality IS?
Even with a New Homeland Security Boss?
The numbers are about HALF of what Miller was pushing for….
And?
It appears the Warehousing for the those vacuumed up CANNOT hold much more bodies…..
Miller probably has LESS that two years running his show with Trump ALREADY in decline and JD Vance or Rubio looking to get out from under Trump in a 2028 Run…..
New Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s directions from the President was to ‘Cool It’ from Miller’s love of confrontation politics….
Mullin HAS….
But the Reality IS America IS gonna forever have Millions of people quietly going about their way undocumented…
That?
Just IS…..
Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportations have remained mostly flat so far this year, despite Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s pledge to increase deportations in 2026, according to figures shared with POLITICO.
A person familiar with the DHS figures on deportations said that the overall number of deportations has fluctuated under Mullin, reaching close to 2,000 per day at varying points in recent weeks, but that the number is in general matching the number of deportations under former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
A second person familiar with internal DHS statistics added that the number of detainees in ICE custody has remained relatively constant in recent weeks, at around 68,000. That is a sign removals are not significantly outpacing arrests — which have averaged about 1,500 arrests and bookings a day in recent weeks, the person said. Under Noem, arrests peaked at about 1,900 a day.
Mullin, who took over from Noem in March, said in June that DHS was on track this year to exceed the number of arrests and deportations it conducted in 2025.
The removal numbers under Mullin, which have not been previously reported, come as he faces an onslaught of criticism from immigration hardliners — particularly after he made comments over the weekend emphasizing the need for visas for temporary workers in sectors such as agriculture.
The deportation numbers also remain far below the target set by powerful White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller — echoed by Mullin — to detain 3,000 people a day.
The second person said that the average number of ICE arrests also decreased at the end of July going into August. That person did not have figures on the number of people actually deported….
…
The political maelstrom before Mullin underscores the challenges associated with the lofty deportation goals the administration set for 2026. Deporting thousands of people requires a significant amount of infrastructure, including space in detention facilities, vehicles to transport detained unauthorized immigrants and a sufficient number of immigration officers to apprehend unauthorized immigrants for removal from the United States.
Despite billions of dollars allocated to DHS by Congress in recent funding bills to broadly support deportation objectives, the department has struggled to expand its current detention capacity. A rapid hiring surge has also raised questions about whether new ICE officers have received necessary training to properly arrest unauthorized immigrants targeted for removal….
Note….
Obama admin deportation look back….
Biden vs Trump deportations…..
