MPI estimates nearly 980k deportations in Trump's second term; DHS silent

A Migration Policy Institute report estimates nearly 980,000 deportations since Trump's second term began, filling a data gap left by DHS's lack of official figures. The scale, if accurate, marks a significant escalation in enforcement intensity compared to prior periods, though the absence of official data leaves the exact number unverified. This development underscores the administration's hardline immigration stance and its domestic political implications.
