Donald Trump says he’s planning to carry out millions of deportations if he’s re-elected. You might be surprised to learn that President Joe Biden’s administration is on pace to match the number of deportations that occurred during Trump’s first term. And counting all types of repatriations of unauthorized migrants, the Biden administration has already far surpassed Trump. As did the prior Obama, Bush, and Clinton administrations. 📊 Get the stats, from our Muzaffar Chishti and Kathleen Bush-Joseph ➡️ https://lnkd.in/evJrymy2 🤝 Other countries are crucial in facilitating deportations. Read up on why it takes two to tango, from Muzaffar Chishti and Colleen Putzel-Kavanaugh ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eHYgJ3ws

About us
The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit think tank in Washington, DC dedicated to analysis of the movement of people worldwide. It has a sister organization, Migration Policy Institute Europe (MPI Europe), based in Brussels. MPI provides analysis, development, and evaluation of migration and refugee policies at the local, national, and international levels. It aims to meet the rising demand for pragmatic and thoughtful responses to the challenges and opportunities that large-scale migration, whether voluntary or forced, presents to communities and institutions in an increasingly integrated world. MPI is guided by the philosophy that international migration needs active and intelligent management. When such policies are in place and are responsibly administered, they bring benefits to immigrants and their families, communities of origin and destination, and sending and receiving countries.

🔍 East African migrants traveling irregularly to Europe, the Middle East, or South Africa can face torture, kidnapping, or treatment described as crimes against humanity. Many may become stranded and need assistance from an international organization or government to return to their origin. Does this assistance help? Does it prevent remigration? The latest article in our Migration Information Source magazine traced the results of a major EU-IOM effort assisting migrants returning to Ethiopia, Sudan & Somalia. By Katie Kuschminder, Davide Bruscoli, Andrew Pinney, Chris Barnett Michael Loevinsohn, and Alex T.

Our Colleen Putzel-Kavanaugh dives into the border apprehensions data each month to see what trends are emerging and are the most significant. Follow along ⬇️
📢 New takeaways from CBP data for June 2024 Each month I'll post key takeaways from the CBP monthly data, closely following trends and tracking effects of policies. After the implementation of the new rule limiting asylum access for those who cross between ports of entry, apprehensions dropped 29 percent from May to June to 84K. But this drop does not fall equally across nationalities. ⬇ Between ports apprehensions dropped significantly for migrants from Venezuela, Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Colombia. ⬆ Apprehensions of migrants from farther away like India and Turkey Increased. 🔄 For some nationalities, like China and the "other" category, apprehensions remained similar to the previous month. ❓ Beyond the number of apprehensions, the new rule has also affected how migrants are processed. Based on the disposition data, final determinations seem to be taking longer. 1️⃣ "Other" dispositions accounted for 39 percent of all dispositions in June. This could signify that as more migrants are placed in the credible fear process, their final disposition is not yet determined. 2️⃣ NTAs still accounted for 33 percent of all dispositions, though the number of those who received an NTA and were released was half the previous month. 3️⃣ Expedited removal accounted for just 6 percent, numbering only 5K, a drop from the nearly 30K the month prior. At ports of entry, apprehensions decreased slightly from 53K to 47K. For the first time Cubans were the top nationality apprehended at ports of entry at 11K, followed closely by Venezuelans, Mexicans, Haitians, and Hondurans. ‼ Access to and knowledge of CBP One seems to play a big role in who is arriving at ports of entry vs. between ports of entry. ⏩ In July I'll be looking to see if the nationality composition continues to change at and between ports and how the new rule affects migrant processing.

Several immigrants will represent their new countries in the finals of the Copa America and Euros soccer tournaments on Sunday. Aymeric Laporte, for instance, was born in France but will suit up for Spain, while Côte d’Ivoire-born Marc Guéhi will take the field for England. It’s not unusual. In fact, about one in ten men’s national soccer team players tend to be foreign born. Understand how migration has shaped national sports teams by revisiting our article from Gijsbert Oonk

📢 We are out with our latest estimates of the size of the unauthorized immigrant population in the U.S., finding that it stood at 11.3 million as of mid-2022. While there is some punditry that the unauthorized population has swelled dramatically because of record levels of encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border, the reality is much more nuanced, as Ariel Ruiz Soto, Julia Gelatt & Jennifer Van Hook explain in our new analysis.

Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant milestone for many immigrants, providing them with the same privileges and responsibilities as the U.S. born and deepening their integration into their new society. While slightly more than half of all immigrants are U.S. citizens, with 878,000 taking the oath of citizenship last year, more than 9 million green-card holders are eligible but have yet to naturalize. About 1/4 of recently naturalized citizens are from 🇲🇽 Mexico, 🇮🇳 India, or 🇵🇭the Philippines. Half lived in California, Texas, Florida, or New York. Want to understand the steps required to become a citizen? Curious how long immigrants tend to wait before naturalization? In our latest article Brandon Marrow & Jeanne Batalova take a look. #ImmigrationData #Naturalization #CitizenshipJourney

📌It’s a federal requirement that state, local, & other programs receiving federal funds provide translation, interpreting, & other services to ensure that all residents, including those speaking languages other than English, can access information & services. While that goal remains significantly unmet, a new policy brief by Margie McHugh & Jacob Hofstetter offer practical strategies. They suggest the federal government should: ✏Develop program- or sector-specific guidance on language access compliance for federal funding recipients. ✏Embed language access requirements in routine processes such as funding applications, awards and program reviews. ✏Dedicate new or existing staff to coordinate language access efforts not only at the agency level but also within major agency sub-offices or programs. ✏Provide sufficient resources for civil rights offices to investigate possible violations. ✏Implement an expanded cross-agency approach, led by the Justice Department, to strengthen coordination, learning & quality control of language access measures.
