The trump administration has removed 7,300 illegal aliens from the united states in its first week in office, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement on Tuesday, january 28. The action is a direct response to President Donald Trump's promise to expand deportations, particularly targeting violent offenders in the nation, and is a part of a larger crackdown on illegal immigration.
 
The DHS claims that law enforcement officers conducted many operations that led to the prompt expulsion of people who were not authorized to be in the United States. The government has emphasized the need to safeguard American communities from those engaged in criminal activity, and these steps have focused on dangerous criminals.

"In the first week of the trump Administration, we have fulfilled President Trump's promise to the American people to arrest and deport violent criminals illegally in the country. In one week, law enforcement officials have removed and returned 7,300 illegal aliens," a statement from DHS said.

Deportations reflect Trump's hardline immigration stance

Trump's dedication to his extreme immigration policies, which were a pillar of his first term, is seen in the rise in deportations. The deportations are interpreted as a warning to undocumented immigrants, and it is predicted that more people would self-deport as a result of this strict enforcement because they dread workplace raids and increased police presence.
 
Self-deportations are anticipated due to fear of raids

With a focus on tighter border security and a crackdown on illegal immigration, two key components of Trump's 2024 campaign platform, his second term has pushed immigration reform back into the spotlight.
