Los Angeles, CA, October 22, 2026 —
A new report estimates that about 660,000 people were deported in the last fiscal year, marking an increase under the Trump administration. The reported total remains below the administration’s stated goal of one million deportations annually and below historical highs recorded in the early 2000s.
The report also indicates increases in interior arrests and voluntary departures. The summary of the report does not specify whether, or how, those figures relate to the estimated deportation total, so they cannot be treated as components of that number based on the information available.
The estimate presents two comparisons: the administration’s stated annual target and deportation levels in the early 2000s. It indicates that the latest figure falls short of both, but provides no specific historical totals or year-by-year data. The report’s source, methodology, and precise definition of “deported” were not provided in the available summary.
The exact dates covered by “the last fiscal year” were also not specified. The summary does not provide a breakdown by location or other demographic details, nor does it state how many interior arrests or voluntary departures occurred. Those omissions limit the detail available for assessing the scale and composition of the reported changes.
Based on the summary, the central finding is an increase in deportations alongside increases in interior arrests and voluntary departures, with the estimated deportation count below both the administration’s stated annual goal and historical highs from the early 2000s. Further details about the report would be needed to establish the precise size of those changes and the basis for the estimate.
