he pace of migrants being ordered deported by U.S. immigration judges so far this fiscal year is 50 percent higher than in 2019, the peak year for the Trump administration, according to a new report.
U.S. immigration judges have ordered 137,000 others deported in the first six months of Fiscal Year 2024, according to a report by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) of Syracuse University. Additionally, nearly half a million migrants have been deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents in that time frame.
“Compared with peak removals in FY 2019 during the prior administration, the pace of new removal orders today is 50 percent greater. The increase in removal orders coincides with the expansion of the ranks of immigration judges during the current administration,” according to TRAC’s report, “Top Places With the Most Immigrants Recently Ordered Deported.”
