Deportation rates have fallen dramatically under President Joe Biden, with the administration removing far fewer illegal aliens in 2021 than were deported under President Donald Trump.

In the roughly one-year period between October 2020 and September 2021, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deported just 59,011 illegal immigrants, according to newly released data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an arm of DHS.
