By Tedd Sherman


Throughout eight years in office, the Obama administration logged more than 3.1 million ICE deportations, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. “The peak was fiscal year 2012, when more than 407,000 people were removed. By comparison, the first Trump administration maxed out at deporting 269,000 people in 2019, according to the same TRAC data set,” they reported. “Across four years, the Trump administration recorded fewer than 932,000 deportations.”
