The more than 600,000 illegal immigrants who have been deported under President Donald Trump represent just a fraction of those who have left the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
More than 2.5 illegal immigrants have left the United States in the roughly 11 months of the Trump administration, according to a Department of Homeland Security news release.
The agency has deported 605,000 illegal immigrants, the release said.
“DHS has prioritized removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens as part of the Trump Administration’s efforts to return law and order to the United States,” the release said.
The release said 1.9 million illegal immigrants have self-deported since Trump took office on Jan. 20.
The Department of Homeland Security has offered to fly illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport back to their home countries.
