But it is still below the numbers deported during the Obama era. For now.

President Donald Trump’s administration is deporting almost 1,300 people a day, according to the latest figures,
The numbers are still below the figures deported during President Barack Obama’s administration. Still, if the pace keeps up, it will surpass the quantities of 2012, a record set by the Democratic president.
Nevertheless, according to The Washington Times, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it is running into several roadblocks on its path to rack up the deportations, in its quest to boot out the millions who arrived to the U.S. during President Joe Biden’s border catastrophe.
Book-ins and arrests have dropped below 900 per day, ICE reported. The latest data, released Thursday shows that ICE has formally deported 246,287 people so far this fiscal year — up from 228,282 on July 12. That computes to 1,286 deportations a day, which would be on pace for nearly 470,000 removals across a full year.
The previous deportation records were set by President Obama, with almost 420,000 in 2012. The current Trump stride still is not near the 1 million deportations per year some officials have suggested as their unofficial target.
One of the reasons for deportations not reaching the goals of the Trump administration is that the number of border crossers has dropped drastically. June was the best month for border arrests, but migrants are wary of daring Border Patrol under the Trump administration, according to reports.
Even in the interior of the country ICE and Border Patrol are grappling to find new deportation prospects. And when officers do find and arrest people, they find that the courts are against them.
