How do monthly deportation numbers vary across different administrations, and what are the lowest and highest recorded figures?

The data reveals a consistent pattern of high deportation numbers across different U.S. administrations, irrespective of political party. The highest monthly deportation figures occurred under Obama (nearly 70,000 in March 2009), while the lowest were during the Trump administration in April 2020 (9,113). This suggests that the deportation machinery operates largely independently of administration rhetoric.
