US immigration authorities deported 270,000 immigrants last fiscal year. A few weeks before the inauguration of Donald Trump as the US President, such information was revealed in official statistics on Thursday. News from AFP.

Trump has already threatened to deport immigrants.

This is the final annual report under President Joe Biden. This number is the highest at any time in the last decade. Even more than Trump’s first term as president.

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said in a report that most of those forced to leave the US came across the southern border illegally. About one-third of them have been convicted of various criminal offences. They are charged with criminal offences.

The figures show the number of people evicted in the 12 months to the end of September. During that time, Trump continued his election campaign. The issue of immigration loomed large in his campaign.

Trump has already said that after taking office as president on January 20, he will launch the largest operation in the history of the United States to expel illegal immigrants.

Trump said immigrants commit more crimes than US citizens. His idea proved popular with voters.
However, Trump did not elaborate on how this operation will be conducted.

Patrick Lechleitner, deputy director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), said, “Every year our officers face many challenges. But every year they face the challenges before them.

According to estimates, 11 to 15 million people are living in the United States illegally. However, Trump and his supporters claim that this number is much higher.
