MPI Report Puts Deportations at About 660,000 Over Past Year
A new report from the Migration Policy Institute indicates that deportations under the Trump administration have increased to approximately 660,000 over the past year nationwide, although this number falls short of a stated White House target.
Shreveport Texarkana, LA, October 22, 2026 —
A new report from the Migration Policy Institute indicates that deportations under the Trump administration increased to approximately 660,000 nationwide over the past year. The figure remains below a target stated by the White House, according to the trend summary.
The summary does not specify the exact period covered by “the past year,” provide the White House target, or explain how the report defined and counted deportations. It also does not describe the report’s methods or identify the data used to reach the estimate. Those details were not provided, so the figure cannot be compared here with a specific target or an earlier period.
The reported number is an approximate total, rather than an exact count. The summary does not break it down by month, location, or other categories, and it does not explain what factors may have contributed to the increase. No further information was provided about the report’s findings beyond the nationwide estimate and its comparison with the stated White House goal.
The available information therefore establishes two points: the Migration Policy Institute report puts deportations over the past year at about 660,000, and that estimate is below the White House target. The target’s numerical value and the size of the gap were not provided. Additional details about the report’s scope, methodology and comparison period are also unavailable in the summary.
