New data is suggesting that President Donald Trump’s push to enforce immigration law has reached a new record high, reportedly hitting over 27,000 deportations in a single week. Conservative commentator and influencer Benny Johnson shared information about the data in a lengthy post published on X after speaking with a senior official with the Department of Homeland Security.
“I just spoke with a senior DHS official. They shared deportation numbers with me that frankly stunned me. +27,000 deportations. Last week,” the post read. Johnson then shared that equated to over 3,600 deportations every single day by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across the country. He then said that ICE is tracking for a massive 1.4 million deportations across the calendar year.
Johnson said the official informed him that more than 69,000 illegals are currently in DHS holding facilities waiting to be booted out of the country right now. He then noted that the mainstream media hasn’t touched this story, explaining that the reason for the silence is “stealth tactics,” according to what he was told by the official.
“We’re everywhere in every major city. We tell no one. Plain clothes. Beat up old cars. Quick work. Tactical strikes. No one sees anything. No drama. No tears. No media circus. You’re just going back home where you belong,” the official told Johnson. And that’s just the beginning of the shocking revelations his source told him.
“DHS tells me blue states are quietly and very secretly working with the Trump administration to assist in the mass deportation of criminals. The criminal alien issue has become so “politically toxic” and “costly” that Democrat Governors have given the green light to Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in major blue cities to drop their illegals off with undercover ICE for removal,” Johnson wrote.
“It’s happening. You just don’t see it,” Johnson told his followers in the post. “We can track if these numbers hold, but as for now this is a historic white pill and exactly what MAGA voted for.” Folks in the comment section were thrilled to hear of the success the Trump administration is having with enforcing the law and ensuring those in the country illegally are sent home.
“And as they shut down all the welfare benefits, the self-deportations should start to increase rapidly also. They need to start going after those employing them soon. Admittedly, a tricky situation though,” user TT Key replied. Another individual expressed that they hoped the figure is accurate because of the staggering number of illegals residing in Los Angeles County.

“I hope you’re right. There’s 1.4 million illegals in Los Angeles County alone,” Nate K said. Another person expressed skepticism at the data, saying, “I wish . My little Texas town is full of them. Believe me, ICE never showed up here. All they do is take the ones that are already in the county jail for other things. Reporting them does no good at all,” the person wrote. “Haitian & Ethiopian migrants that had temporarily protected status for 16 years are set to start deportation,” someone else pointed out.
