Breitbart News, The Federalist and Townhall report that the Department of Homeland Security said U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has revoked or terminated the immigration status of about 2.2 million people since President Donald Trump took office. The outlets say the department described the figure as a cumulative total of status revocations and terminations, not a new enforcement action. According to the outlets, the actions included ending Temporary Protected Status, ending categorical humanitarian parole programs and denying some requests to extend or change status. The outlets say the actions clear the way for many affected people to face deportation, and the department said they reverse policies from the Biden administration.
