Report Puts Trump-Era Deportations at About 660,000 Over Past Year
A new report indicates that deportations under the Trump administration have increased to approximately 660,000 over the past year, with arrests also rising nationwide, though the numbers have fallen short of White House targets.
Fort Smith Fayetteville Springdale Rogers, AR, October 22, 2026 —
A new report says deportations under the Trump administration increased to approximately 660,000 over the past year. Arrests also rose nationwide, according to the report, but the figures remained below White House targets.
The information provided does not identify the report’s publisher, specify the exact dates covered by “the past year,” or explain how deportations and arrests were counted. It also does not provide a total number of arrests. The figure of approximately 660,000 refers to deportations, rather than arrests.
The report’s comparison with White House targets indicates that the reported totals did not reach those goals. However, the targets’ specific figures and the size of the gap were not provided. No breakdown by location or other details about the deportations and arrests were included in the information available.
The reported increase offers a broad measure of enforcement activity, but the limited details make it difficult to assess how the totals changed over time or how they compare with earlier periods. The information also does not describe the methods used to produce the figures, so no further conclusions about the scale or causes of the reported changes can be drawn from it alone.
Further details—including the report’s methodology, precise reporting period, arrest totals and the targets used for comparison—were not included in the summary. As presented, the report points to increased deportations and nationwide arrests while noting that the totals fell short of White House targets.
