Burlington Plattsburgh, VT, October 22, 2026 —
A new report says deportations under the Trump administration are climbing and projects that approximately 660,000 individuals will be deported over the past year. The report also indicates that arrests have increased nationwide, while the projected deportation figure remains below the White House’s target.
The summary of the report does not identify its publisher, provide the underlying data or describe how the projection was calculated. It also does not specify the exact dates covered by “the past year,” or give a numerical figure for the White House target. Those details were not provided, limiting comparisons between the projection and the administration’s stated goal.
The report’s distinction between arrests and deportations is relevant to interpreting the figures: it describes an increase in nationwide arrests but gives a projection for deportations. It does not provide arrest totals or explain how many arrests resulted in deportation. The information provided also does not identify changes by location or give a breakdown of the people included in the projection.
As presented, the report points to an upward trend in deportations while indicating that the projected total has not reached the White House target. The report’s methodology, the target’s amount and the period used for the projection were not supplied, so the available information does not establish how large the gap is or how the trend compares with earlier periods.
