In response to illegal immigration, the Trump administration has deported no fewer than 6,000 migrants within the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term, Daily Mail reports Wednesday.
The report disclosed that in the 15 days since Trump has been in office, deportation rate averaged 370 – 400 per day.
According to Federal Data shared with Daily Mail, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 512 illegal immigrants on Monday alone and arrested 715 individuals with outstanding immigration violations, 73 per cent of whom have known criminal convictions or pending charges, including homicide, sexual crimes against minors and drug trafficking.
In addition to the arrests, the agency’s crackdown targeted gang members, including six affiliates of the Tren de Aragua cartel and nine other migrant gang members.
The first flights of migrants to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba that started on Tuesday reportedly included members of the gang and other ‘high-threat’ aliens tied to the cartel.

“Guantanamo Bay will hold the worst of the worst. That starts today,” Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem wrote on X on Tuesday alongside images of migrants getting deported.
The base has reportedly been ramping up operations to turn the military installation into a holding facility for deported illegal aliens as the last time the base was used for migrant operations was in 1994.
The report added that an official disclosed that since Trump’s swearing-in in January, nearly 9,000 immigration violators have been arrested, many of whom have multiple convictions or charges.
“President Trump’s administration is carrying out his promise to arrest and deport criminal illegal immigrants. There’s more to come. This is just the beginning,” the senior White House official was quoted in a text to DailyMail.com.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump also reportedly celebrated the crackdown on criminal aliens that his administration has been carrying out.
He was quoted as saying, “The volume of crime that they have and the viciousness of the crimes, these people are horrible people, and if somebody thinks they’re going to be wonderful citizens someday, they’re wrong. It’s not going to happen.
“If I can get them out of the country and be in some other country where they’re glad to have them because they make a small fee compared to what we’ve paid to a private prison, or to put them in one of our prisons and cost even more money, I think it would be great.
