New Data Shows 1 Million Fewer Illegal Immigrants in U.S. Since January
UNITED STATES, JUN 19 – The report links the decline to intensified enforcement efforts under President Trump, with a 3.7% drop in the foreign-born labor force and a notable decrease in non-citizens from Latin America.
- The Center for Immigration Studies reported a decline of about one million illegal immigrants in the U.S. between January and May 2025.
- This decline followed President Trump's return to office and enforcement efforts including a mass deportation campaign and border lockdown.
- Census Bureau data showed the foreign-born labor force dropped by approximately 600,000 and the total foreign-born population decreased by 957,000 during this period.
- Steven Camarota noted that recent data suggest that policies under Trump have reduced the population of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., which could lead to higher wages for Americans with lower levels of education.
- The observed decrease indicates substantial advancement toward President Trump's aim of reducing the number of unauthorized immigrants by at least one million annually, though official figures will only be available once ICE releases its removal report this December.
