The Trump administration has taken action to revoke or terminate the status of roughly 2.2 million illegal immigrants since the president's second inauguration, according to the Department of Homeland Security. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has moved to end Temporary Protected Status for over one million people from 13 countries, placed some immigrants into removal proceedings, and ended automatic work permit extensions. The administration also terminated parole programs that allowed about 500,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants to enter the U.S. by air, while Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported approximately 421,182 individuals between October 2025 and August 24, 2026.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated the actions reflect President Trump's commitment to enforcing immigration laws and restoring integrity to the system. The administration has revoked more than 300,000 visas, including 4,000 linked to birth tourism and 6,000 held by foreign students with criminal or terrorism ties. The Justice Department recently charged 48 foreigners with election-related offenses, as the administration increases prosecutions of noncitizens accused of voting or registering to vote.
