The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Tuesday that in the first two weeks of President Donald Trump's second term, nearly 5,700 illegal immigrants had been deported.

If the new administration continues at that clip, one expert told Newsweek, then it would be on track to deport half the number of migrants removed during former President Joe Biden's last full fiscal year in 2024.

These are different measures than the brookings piece.

This paragraph seems to explain the discrepancy.
"Not all of those removed will have been arrested deep within the country by ICE. Many will have been detained at the southwest or northern borders by Border Patrol and effectively turned around or sent back home. Others will have been in detention for multiple years before removal orders are given."
I wouldn't conflate denial of entry and deportation if I was trying to make some analysis.
BTW, I was not trying to be antagonistic when I asked where you got your data.

As I said they have neither the manpower or detention space for mass deports.

Congress will need to appropriate a shit ton of money for both to do what the Orangeman wants.
