DHS Reports Over 1.46 Million Forced Removals in Past Year, Says Advocate

According to Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet, a new Department of Homeland Security report tallied 1,461,529 illegal immigrants forcibly removed in the previous twelve months, averaging 4,291 daily expulsions—a level he described as unprecedented. Kolvet clarified that the count does not include self-deportations. The piece argues that illegal immigration worsens the housing shortage, weak job market and urban crime, suggesting that mass removals could alleviate these issues.

It also references claims that cities conducting large-scale purges have seen declines in violent crime, attributing credit to the Trump administration. The article notes uncertainty about the total illegal-immigrant population, citing estimates ranging from 30 million to higher figures, and calls for continued deportations to protect American workers. The commentary concludes with a partisan appeal for support of its viewpoint.
