White House spokesperson Kush Desai told NBC News the Trump administration is “committed to delivering on the mandate that the American people gave to President Trump with a whole-of-government approach to secure our borders, enforce our immigration laws, mass deport criminal illegal migrants, and put America First.".
In order for the Trump administration to even reach 1 million deportations by the end of the year, the administration would have to start deporting 2,700 people every day, NBC News reports.
President Donald Trump’s administration is looking to use Defense Department funding to ramp up their effort to deport “millions and millions,” according to a new report.
However, the White House disputed the report, noting in a statement that the “Trump administration is aligned on securing our borders and ensuring that mass deportations are conducted quickly and effectively to put Americans and America First.”.
Trump promised to deport “millions and millions” and conduct the largest deportation effort in U.S. history while on the campaign trail.
