The promise was to carry out the “largest deportation in history” and expel all undocumented immigrants from the country. This goal is elusive, both because the exact number of undocumented immigrants is unknown, and because records of all deportations in U.S. history are lacking. Although ICE arrests increased from around 18,000 in April to 23,000 in May and 31,500 in June, the 3,000 daily figure has never been reached, and over the summer, apprehensions stabilized again around 30,000 a month. In the next step of the process, immigration detention, the landscape has changed dramatically in the past nine months. This is still far from “the largest deportation in history,” and even from the more realistic goal of one million deportations in 2025.
