Since President Trump returned to the White House in January last year, the U.S. has deported a little over 144,000 Mexicans to their homeland by the end of 2025, according to Mexican government data. The overall numbers are down, in part, because there are fewer Mexican migrants entering the United States since Trump beefed up border security. The highest number of deported Mexicans, 12,786, came from Chiapas, which borders Guatemala and is Mexico’s southernmost state. AdvertisementAfter Chiapas, the two other main states of origin for deported Mexicans were Guanajuato, with 11,552, and Guerrero, trailing just behind with 11,044. An analysis of federal U.S. data by the New York Times shows that the Trump administration deported about 540,000 people last year.
