For those just going off the headline, the figures are for the years 2015-2020 and the others from 2002-2017. It doesn't include anything from this recent administration.
I would like to believe the figures for 2025 are much lower, but there's not a whole lot of transparency from the DHS on this - and I doubt they're even bothering to keep accurate records - so no one really knows. They only release whatever they think is good PR

@TinyViolins My attempts to gain updated information has proven difficult.
At present, we must rely on specific events reported by the media...both national and local.
Edit: We do know that there have been children born here, that were deported along with parent(s).
The parent(s) deported and chose to take their US born children with them.

@JSul3 I've heard of 2 other cases from this year of adults being deported despite being US born. So far it seems to only be a handful of cases, and with the kids there were extenuating circumstances, but these are all coming from media reports.
Trump is a savant at dodging responsibility, so I don't expect to hear any official tally coming from our government. At least not during this administration

Yeah...in 2024. Once again, an inconvenient fact you chose to leave out. Now... which presidential administration was in control of the border then?

Presumably a situation that is about to get a whole lot worse as ICE becomes Trump's agency of choice for performative cruelty.

@Reason10 Your inhumanity is in full display. I hope you are able to answer to your god, come your judgement day.
That photo is of Haitians seeking asylum in the US.
A New York Times Headline describes it perfectly:
How Hope, Fear and Misinformation Led Thousands of Haitians to the U.S. Border
Some left to find work. Others to escape violence or racial discrimination in other countries. But many believe ‘there is nothing to go back to.’

DEL RIO, Texas — They have arrived this week by the thousands, Haitians who had heard of an easy way into the United States. In what appeared to be an endless procession across the shallow waters of the Rio Grande, they carried mattresses, fruit, diapers and blankets, provisions to tide them over while they awaited their turn to plead for entry into America.
For so many, it had been a journey years in the making.
“A friend of mine told me to cross here. I heard it was easier,” said Mackenson, a 25-year-old Haitian who spoke on the condition that his last name not be published. He and his pregnant wife had traveled from Tapachula, Mexico, near the country’s border with Guatemala, where they had been living after earlier stops over the last three years in Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Panama. “It took us two months to get here on foot and by bus.”
This week, the couple joined an estimated 14,000 other migrants who have converged upon the border community of Del Rio, a surge that has overwhelmed local officials and the authorities and comes amid a staggering spike in border crossings this year. On Friday morning, as the summer sun beat down, the couple found a moment of solace in the shade of the Del Rio International Bridge, which had quickly become a very crowded staging area, with migrants jostling for a patch of dirt to sit and rest.
