Nearly two million illegal immigrants living in the United States have left since President Donald Trump began his second term, and the numbers will “explode” in the upcoming year with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) planning to triple its workforce, according to White House border czar Tom Homan.
Homan said in a television interview that ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have carried out more than 400,000 deportations, with 1.6 million migrants leaving voluntarily because of the increased enforcement efforts, reports The Washington Examiner on Tuesday.
“We’re at over 400,000 deportations between CBP and ICE, and that’s just since the president took office,” Homan said. “The first four months of the fiscal year, we can’t count them because [former President] Joe Biden wasn’t doing anything.

Because they see what ICE is doing out there every day.”
