In just his first week back in office, President Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) isn't wasting any time getting to work, and ICE is crazy transparent about its success.
Since Trump’s third day in office, ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have been posting daily updates on immigration enforcement, like these:

This is what immigration enforcement looks like, and on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security gave us an update about the progress that has been made in just a week under Trump. According to DHS, the Trump administration has already deported 7,300 illegal immigrants.
These aren't just random deportations either; we're talking about criminals who were either charged with or found guilty of serious offenses including robbery, rape, assault, domestic violence, and drunk driving.

And this is just the beginning. According to a report from the Washington Post, the Trump administration is aiming for 1,200 to 1,500 deportations daily — roughly 500,000 deportations annually.
It’s a start. During the Biden administration, an average of 2.4 million immigrants entered the United States, and an estimated 60% of them came in illegally.
On Monday alone, ICE came close to hitting the new quota with 1,179 deportations.

The Department of Homeland Security also shared a video detailing the successes of Trump's deportation operation.

And before I go, I present this clip from Karoline Leavitt's first White House Press Briefing on Tuesday, during which a reporter asked her about the illegals who have been arrested and deported.
REPORTER: "How many have a criminal record, versus those who are just in the country illegally?"

LEAVITT: "ALL OF THEM! Because they illegally broke our nation's laws, and therefore, they are CRIMINALS."
