More than 527,000 illegal immigrants have been removed from the United States so far under the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement on Oct. 27.

“The Trump Administration is on pace to shatter historic records and deport nearly 600,000 illegal aliens by the end of President Donald Trump’s first year since returning to office. More than 2 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., including 1.6 million who have voluntarily self-deported and over 527,000 deportations,” DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said.
