Report Projects About 660,000 Deportations Over Past Year
A new report indicates that deportations under the Trump administration are on track to reach about 660,000 people nationwide over the past year, with arrests increasing, although the figures may not meet a White House target.
Tyler Longview, TX, October 22, 2026 —
A new report indicates that deportations under the Trump administration are on track to reach about 660,000 people nationwide over the past year. The report also says arrests have increased, while the projected deportation total may fall short of a White House target.
The figure is presented as an estimate of where deportations are headed, not as a confirmed final count. The summary of the report does not specify the exact dates covered by “the past year,” how the projection was calculated, or how many people have been deported so far.
The White House target was not provided, so the size of any potential gap cannot be determined from the information available. The report’s publisher, release date and methodology were also not identified. No figures were given for the increase in arrests or for how arrests relate to the projected deportation total.
Those missing details limit comparisons between the projection and the administration’s stated goal. The available information establishes that deportations are projected to reach about 660,000 nationwide and that arrests are increasing, but it does not provide a breakdown by location, time period or other category.
The report’s estimate and its assessment of the White House target are the only specific findings included in the summary. Without the underlying report or additional figures, the projection’s assumptions and the degree to which the target may be missed remain unclear.
