Here’s the clean, factual picture based strictly on the best available data from DHS‑based reporting and independent analyses.

Did Biden remove three times as many “aliens” as Trump?
Short answer: No — but Biden did remove more than Trump, roughly twice as many, not three times.
What the numbers show
*Different administrations count “removals,” “returns,” and “expulsions” differently. Analysts warn that simple comparisons can mislead unless definitions match.
Bottom line
Biden’s total is a little more than double Trump’s first‑term total — not triple.

Did Obama remove three times as many as Trump?
Short answer: Yes — Obama’s total was more than double Trump’s, and close to triple.
What the numbers show
Bottom line
Obama’s total removals were more than twice Trump’s and approach three times depending on which Trump baseline you use.
So the claim that Obama removed “three times” as many as Trump is much closer to true than the Biden claim.

Why these comparisons get messy
Analysts emphasize that:
• Obama counted many “returns” at the border as removals, inflating totals relative to later methods.
• Trump’s numbers were lower partly because he emphasized interior enforcement, not high‑volume border processing.
• Biden’s totals include large numbers of rapid returns and Title 42 expulsions, which are not the same as formal deportations.
In other words, the definitions changed, not just the policies.
