Newly released records from President Joe Biden’s administration show that deportations of criminal illegal immigrants have plunged since Biden took office.

Over 72,300 convicted criminals living in the United States were deported in fiscal year 2019, according to the records. That number dropped to about 54,000 in fiscal year 2020, and to just 29,326 in fiscal year 2021.
