Comparing the Biden and Trump Deportation Records
June 27, 2024 Policy Beat. By Muzaffar Chishti and Kathleen Bush-Joseph
The Biden administration took office amid heightened debate in some circles over the merits and tactics of deportations, yet it is on track to carry out as many removals and returns as the Trump administration did. The 1.1 million deportations since the beginning of fiscal year (FY) 2021 through February 2024 (the most recent data available) are on pace to match the 1.5 million deportations carried out during the four years President Donald Trump was in office. These deportations are in addition to the 3 million expulsions of migrants crossing the border irregularly that occurred under the pandemic-era Title 42 order between March 2020 and May 2023—the vast majority of which occurred under the Biden administration. Combining deportations with expulsions and other actions to block migrants without permission to enter the United States, the Biden administration’s nearly 4.4 million repatriations are already more than any single presidential term since the George W. Bush administration (5 million in its second term).
In the 12 months after Title 42 ended, the Biden administration ramped up deportations under the standard U.S. immigration framework, Title 8, and removed or returned 775,000 unauthorized migrants—more than in any previous fiscal year since 2010. From May 2023 through March 2024, 316,000 migrants were processed via expedited removal, more than in any prior full fiscal year. And for the first time since FY 2010, in FY 2023 more migrants were returned directly across the border, mostly to Mexico, than were removed from the U.S. interior. Whereas President Barack Obama was labeled by some as the “deporter in chief,” this new trend may earn President Joe Biden the title of “returner in chief.” Notably, authorities have deported migrants to more than 170 countries during the current administration, which may be the most ever.

The above article was obviously before 45 started his 2nd term but I think the gist is the "we will deport 1 million a year" exaggerated nonsense from 45 (Miler, was going to be impossible based on past large-scale efforts from previous Presidents.
Then you have FY'24 that began Oct, 1,
2023 and ran until Sep. 2024. But you have FY'25, which began Oct. 1, 2024, and ended Sep. 30,
2025,
where figures from FY'25 would include almost 4 calendar months of Biden's term before 45 was sworn in -
Oct. 1, 2024 - Jan. 20, 2025 (something to keep in mind with the FY'25 numbers).
