DHS Spox: “In President Trump’s first year back in office, more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations. As of August 4, we have now deported over 1 million illegal aliens and arrested over 1 million illegal aliens.”

DHS,

Thank you for this information.

Please tell us how many illegals departed using the DHS Project Homecoming program and of those how many were given ID and paperwork to return to legally work in the United States?

Thank you,
