Trump officials have private goal to deport at least 1 million immigrants in 2025
Officials and analysts are increasingly skeptical about the administration’s ability to deport that many immigrants in a single year.
By Maria Sacchetti and Jacob Bogage
As the Trump administration aggressively pushes to deport more immigrants during the president’s first year back in office, one aspirational number keeps coming up in private conversations, according to four current and former federal officials with direct knowledge of the plans: 1 million. White House adviser Stephen Miller has been strategizing with officials from the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies on an almost daily basis to meet that goal.
One strategy to quickly increase numbers, officials have said, is to find ways to deport some of the 1.4 million immigrants who have final deportation orders but cannot be deported because their home countries won’t take them back. The administration is negotiating with as many as 30 countries to take deportees who are not their citizens. In a recent court filing, the administration said it hopes to send “thousands” of immigrants to these destinations, known as third countries.

Stephen Miller.
Not that I support Trump or stupid deportations. Give everyone citizenship upon arrival. We need all the hard working tax payers and to grow the economy that we can get.
