Recent data from the Census Bureau and the Center for Immigration Studies indicate a substantial decline in the foreign-born population in the United States in 2025. Between January and July, the total immigrant population, including both legal and illegal immigrants, decreased by approximately 2.2 million. Specifically, the illegal immigrant population fell by 1.6 million over the past six months. This decline has been attributed to stricter immigration enforcement policies implemented under President Donald Trump's administration, which are reported to be removing illegal immigrants at a faster rate than they were added during the previous administration under President Joe Biden. Additionally, these policies are credited with reducing risks such as child sex trafficking. The data reflects an unprecedented drop in immigrant numbers, highlighting a shift in U.S. immigration dynamics under the current administration.
