During his campaign, President-elect Trump vowed to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants (USA Today, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., Washington Post). U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tracks removals for each fiscal year (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement); in the 2016 fiscal year, they conducted 240,255 (ICE). The government's 2017 fiscal year runs from 1 October 2016 through 30 September 2017. The question will be suspended on 30 September 2017 and closed when ICE releases its data, typically in December.
