US Deports Over 3 Million Foreigners in 15 Months

The White House announced that the United States has deported more than three million foreigners over a span of 15 months, coinciding with President Donald Trump's return to office. The administration claims it has not allowed any illegal migrants into the country during this period.
In a fact sheet released, the White House stated that Trump signed an executive order in his first week back, declaring a crisis at the southern border and addressing what it termed the Biden administration’s “record-shattering illegal immigration.” The administration reported that it has launched a “denaturalization surge” against individuals who allegedly fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship, with claims filed against 88 such individuals. Additionally, it has terminated taxpayer-funded benefits for over 1.4 million undocumented migrants and paused visa processing for 75 high-risk countries.
The administration also indicated efforts to remove undocumented migrants from voter rolls and reformed the citizenship test to ensure applicants meet eligibility requirements. Two executive orders were signed on August 6, 2026, to address birth tourism and clarify birthright citizenship.
