Report Says Deportations Under Trump Administration Are Rising
A new report indicates that deportations under the Trump administration are climbing, with approximately 660,000 individuals on track to be deported over the past year, though this number falls short of the White House's stated target.
Lubbock, TX, October 22, 2026 —
A new report indicates that deportations under the Trump administration are climbing, with approximately 660,000 individuals on track to be deported over the past year. The figure remains below the White House’s stated target, according to the summary of the report.
The summary does not identify the report’s publisher or provide a release date. It also does not specify the White House target, so the size of the gap between the reported figure and that goal cannot be determined from the information provided.
The wording “on track to be deported” does not establish whether the approximately 660,000 people have already been deported or whether the figure is a projection. The report’s underlying data, the period used for comparison, and the method for calculating the figure were not provided. No earlier figures were included to show the extent of the reported increase.
Those omissions limit what can be concluded about the trend beyond the report’s broad characterization that deportations are climbing. The information provided also does not explain which categories of deportations are counted or whether the figure represents a completed total, an estimate, or a pace projected across the year.
The report’s stated figure and the administration’s target are therefore the central details available, but the available summary does not provide enough context to assess how either was calculated. Further specifics about the source, timeframe and target were not included.
