The Numbers: Between fiscal years 2009 and 2016, immigration authorities under President Barack Obama conducted approximately 3.1 million to 3.2 million formal deportations (removals) through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Context: Immigration advocates and media outlets frequently referred to Obama as the โDeporter-in-Chiefโ due to these high numbers. However, analysts note that the definition of a โdeportationโ shifted during his tenure to count individuals apprehended directly at the border who were turned back (formal removals), rather than just interior enforcement arrests.
