One of President Donald Trump's major campaign goals was to secure the nation's borders, following years of easy access for illegal aliens including criminals and terrorists under Joe Biden's regime, and remove those illegally in America.

Americans voted for that very agenda. And so far, his work has effected the removal of about two million.

Hundreds of thousands by deportation but also about 1.6 million who have left voluntarily.

The White House earlier discussed how many of those arrested for being in the country illegally also had criminal convictions, or pending criminal charges.

Now a report at the Washington Examiner said more than two million illegal aliens have left the U.S. in the days since Trump took over the White House.

"The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday morning that more than 400,000 illegal immigrants had been deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement since late January," the report said. "An additional 1.6 million people chose to leave the U.S. rather than face arrest, detention, and deportation by the government."

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the DHS said, "The numbers don't lie: 2 million illegal aliens have been removed or self-deported in just 250 days — proving that President Trump's policies and Secretary Noem's leadership are working and making American communities safe."

She said the messaging from the Trump White House, its enforcement of border laws, its agenda to pursue illegal alien criminals and much more, all have been pushing those in the country illegally to leave.

The report continued, "The Washington Examiner reported in mid-September that immigration policy analysts anticipate that the Trump administration's deportation operations are still in their infancy as it hires 10,000 more deportation officers and expands immigrant detention sites nationwide."

DHS said on Tuesday, "DHS is just getting started thanks to President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, which is surging hiring efforts and turbocharging the arrests and deportations of illegal aliens."

One of the bigger obstacles the Trump national security agenda has faced has been resistance from so-called "sanctuary" locations, where cities or states insist on concealing and protecting illegal aliens from federal law enforcement efforts.

In California, officials even went so far as to impose a ban on federal officers wearing masks, which they have done to protect their identities and their families from attacks when they are doxed by activists.

Federal officials have responded that the so-called requirement will have no impact on the actions of federal officers. Entry level judges in the federal court system also repeatedly have blocked Trump's security plans, and many of those rulings have been overturned on appeal.
