Nearly 80 percent of migrants seeking asylum in the US were sent packing in the last quarter, as immigration judges take a tougher line under the Trump administration, which has made it a priority to restore the border.
In that same span there’s been an accompanying spike in deportations. In December, there were 38,215 illegal migrants given the boot, nearly double the 19,265 in December 2023 under President Joe Biden and 53% more than the 24,979 in December 2024, according to data compiled by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
And the enforcement has been sustained, with more than 30,000 deportations every month since Trump took office.
