The Trump administration plans to deport 1 million immigrants a year, exceeding previous figures. To this end, negotiations are underway with 30 countries to accept deportees.

It is noted that the deportation of 1 million immigrants in one year would allegedly exceed previous statistics, as the largest number so far was more than 400,000 per year, when Barack Obama was president.
Analysts say that the available statistics make this goal unrealistic, if not impossible, given the funding, staffing levels and the fact that most immigrants are entitled to a court hearing before being expelled from the country
The authors point out that one strategy to quickly increase the number of deportees is to find ways to expel some of the 1.4 million immigrants who have final deportation orders but cannot be deported because their home countries will not take them back.
According to two officials, the administration is in talks with 30 countries to accept deportees who are not their citizens. In a recent court filing, the administration said it hopes to send "thousands" of immigrants to these destinations, known as third countries

Meanwhile, White House spokesman Kush Desai did not answer questions about the government's goal, but said in an email that the Trump administration had received a mandate from voters to correct the work of its predecessors on border security and immigration control.
"The entire Trump administration is focused on fulfilling this mandate, not on arbitrary goals, using a whole-of-government approach to ensure the effective mass deportation of terrorists and illegal criminals," the spokesman said.
