Over 3.4 million noncitizens were deported during the Obama administration—exceeding any other prior administration. The Trump administration has taken a hardline stance on immigration and adopted measures to bolster the interior enforcement of immigration law, as evident in the President's immigration-related executive orders. Given the large unauthorized population currently living in the United States, it is unlikely that deportations will become a thing of the past. Despite being major component of US immigration enforcement, the social implications of deportation have been relatively underexamined by quantitative sociologists. Drawing on survey data gathered through the Migrant Border Crossing Study, we provide insight on the demographic profiles of Mexican immigrants removed from the country, a group which constitutes roughly 70 percent of all deportees. We demonstrate that many noncitizens possess strong social ties to the United States and therefore a strong resolve to return. The consequences of the current deportation regime extend beyond those directly removed and into immigrant communities throughout the country.
