more than 2.5 million migrants have been deported or left the country voluntarily in the US over the course of 2025

The US authorities have described it as a "huge achievement," within the framework of Trump's tough migration policies, just days after he announced that there will be dozens of judges to "speed up deportations."

The United States authorities have reported that more than 2.5 million migrants have been deported or left the United States voluntarily by 2025, which they have described as a "terrible achievement."

"We have deported some 600,000 illegal immigrants in less than 365 days, and another 1.9 million have left the country on their own, that is, more than 2.5 million immigrants have disappeared. An incredible achievement!"the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.


   
The announcement comes a few days after the Justice Department announced that it will have dozens of judges to "speed up deportations" within the tough migration policy pursued by US President Donald Trump's administration.

"We have only just begun," the DHS text states, referring to operations that human rights organizations have described as "possible violations of human rights. "

Meanwhile, Trump has called for "eliminating the millions of illegal immigrants admitted by Biden, "to expel those who "are not a net asset to the US," or "are incapable of loving this country."

The president accuses immigrants of high crime ratesin the country, worsening urban areas, lack of services and housing problems, among others.
