More than 3 million illegal aliens have left the United States since the Trump administration began its crackdown on illegal immigration, a DHS spokesperson told American Greatness, Wednesday.
“In President Trump’s first year back in office, more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations,” the spokesman said. “As of August 4, we have now deported over 1 million illegal aliens and arrested over 1 million illegal aliens.”

“Last week, the brave men and women of ICE made our country safer by deporting illegal alien gang members, including kidnappers, violent assailants, drug traffickers, and burglars,” said Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “The Trump Administration is working hard every single day to undo the damage caused by the Biden Administration’s reckless open-border policies. We will never apologize for deporting illegal aliens, because that’s how we save lives.”
More than 40,000 public safety threats arrested by ICE can be found on the DHS webpage WOW.DHS.Gov.
