Key Figures and Timeline Based on DHS press releases, ICE reports, and independent analyses, here's a breakdown of reported deportations of known/suspected terrorists:
First Month (Jan 20–Feb 20, 2025) 22 Part of 700+ gang member deportations; focused on TdA and MS-13 FTO designations. DHS/ICE data via CBS Face the Nation
First 50 Days (Jan 20–Mar 10, 2025) 39 Nearly triple the 14 from the same period in 2024; included TdA and ISIS-linked individuals. DHS press release
First 100 Days (Jan 20–Apr 28, 2025) 120+ Over 120 from the terrorist watchlist; part of 142,000+ total deportations, including 2,000+ gang members (many FTO-designated). Raids caught 219 terrorism-tied individuals (e.g., one of India's "most wanted"). DHS "100 Days" report; NY Post , ,
March 2025 (Specific Operation) 276 259 to El Salvador's CECOT prison (238 TdA + 21 MS-13); plus 17 more; military-assisted flights. DHS/El Salvador agreement
First Six Months (Jan 20–Jul 20, 2025) 600+ (TdA alone) Cumulative; included 356 gang/terror deportations in Houston area; total arrests exceeded 150,000. ICE regional data; DHS ,
As of Late October 2025 120+ (watchlist) + 800+ (TdA) Ongoing; DHS reports "thousands" of gang/terror members in 527,000+ total deportations. DHS milestone update , ,
  • Cumulative Estimate as of November 3, 2025: At least 1,000+ known/suspected terrorists deported. This is a conservative figure based on watchlist removals (120+) plus FTO gang members (800+ TdA, 200+ MS-13, and others like ISIS affiliates). Independent trackers like NBC News and the Guardian note over 500,000 total deportations by October, with ~10-20% involving criminal/terrorism priors (e.g., 75% of ICE arrests target criminals). The administration's pace (30,000/month by September) suggests additional removals in early November .
