Report Estimates 660,000 Deportations Over Past Year Under Trump Administration
A new report from the Migration Policy Institute indicates that deportations under the Trump administration have increased, with an estimated 660,000 people deported over the past year as arrests are ramping up nationally.
Rochester, NY, October 22, 2026 —
A new report from the Migration Policy Institute estimates that about 660,000 people were deported over the past year under the Trump administration. The report also indicates that arrests are ramping up nationally.
The estimate points to an increase in deportations, but the information provided about the report does not specify how that increase was measured or what period was used for comparison. It also does not detail how the estimate was calculated, which agencies or data sources were included, or how deportations were defined.
The summary of the report does not provide a breakdown of deportations by location, individual circumstances, or time period within the past year. It also does not state how many arrests have taken place or provide figures for earlier periods. As a result, the available information describes the broad direction of the reported trend but does not quantify the pace or distribution of arrests.
The Migration Policy Institute is identified as the source of the new report. No report title, publication date, named researchers, or direct quotations were provided in the information available for this article. The estimate is therefore attributed to the institute rather than presented as an independently verified count.
The report’s central findings, as summarized, are that deportations under the Trump administration have increased and that arrests are rising nationally. Further details about the underlying data and methods were not included in the summary.
