Are these deportation numbers by recent presidents correct?

Lingering question:
If a judge issues an order of deportation, does that count as a deportation? Or does someone have to be physically deported for it to count?

Im not certain where those come from, but you remember obama as the deport king? During that time period I checked the homeland security site a few times and came across the ole Mark Twain adage of lies, damn lies, and statistics.
Under W term there were two types of removal. Deportations, this is when ICE picks up a bad hombre in Chicago and deports him. The second was turnarounds (I forget the vernacular) but it was people at the border who were not admitted. Obviously the latter is a far greater number.
Under obama they combined the two and called them all deportations......then they compared that to W's actual deportations, and voila the deport king obama was born. In actuality the true deportations of W were far greater than obama.

We need to stop telling everyone when we are deporting these illegals and having these press releases about it. Just put them on a red eye out of a military base like they used to do. That’s how Biden brought them in.
I’m all for transparency but you have to have some discretion with some things so you can get your agenda through. No need to telegraph what you’re doing for all these liberal reporters and activists.

808,
They physically have to be removed.
I remember under Sessions they prevented him from getting more judges to remove the backlog before trial of over 5 years. So he then decided to hold court for about 50 at a time, simply asking if they were truly afraid to go home or economic, if they lied they could never return. That worked great for about 12 hours til an ngo sued and an individual trial had to be for each person.
Thats what they want now, another trial for everyone, including the 100s of thousands who are criminals or have overstayed and never showed up for court date (yes I know they are all criminals).

How many tried the AIA as their reasoning to deport illegals?

And more importantly, did all 28 million receive due process?
Or was it just this most recent guy returned to his home country that got the shaft?

Seems like they deported when Biden let in tons of criminals and terrorists. You’ll be the first to blame trump when something happens though.

I found my answer. Deportations aren’t necessarily removals. All removals are deportations.
Removals under Obama were around 300k/yr.

How many of those previous "deportations" were simply denial of entry counted as a deportation? If I'm not mistaken that is what Obama was doing.

Bill Clinton says, " hold my beer!".
quote:
During Bill Clinton’s presidency (1993–2001), approximately 12.3 million deportations occurred, according to the Migration Policy Institute. This figure includes:
870,000 formal removals: These were compulsory deportations based on an order of removal, often involving immigration court proceedings.
11.4 million voluntary returns: These involved individuals apprehended, primarily at the U.S.-Mexico border, who agreed to leave without a formal removal order, often before entering the country fully.
The high number of returns reflects Clinton’s policies, like the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA), which expanded expedited removals and border enforcement. Critics note that counting returns as deportations inflates the total, as many never fully entered the U.S. For context, Doris Meissner, INS Commissioner, reported 67,094 deportations (criminal and non-criminal) in fiscal year 1995 alone, emphasizing criminal alien removals.

The most significant portion of deportations under Obama were "removals," meaning they were already here in the country and were rounded up and sent back by the "Deporter-In-Chief."
Mainstream news and Democrats just ignored that and refused to cover it though.

I saw that. You also have to figure in the fact that deportations are so low under Trump because they aren't even trying to get into the country, anymore. Not as many jobs available, the risk that you'll be caught and deported, and you can no longer get into the country with free money, if you just make an asylum claim. There just aren't as many deportation opportunities...

Could this country use a good dose of Bill Clinton right now?
Tough on immigration, trimmed a bloated government and got the economy chugging along.
