Trump's stated goal is to deport 4M people (by deporting 3k people per day). They count border crossing apprehensions in this number, so this isn't 4M current residents. The government currently claims [1] 9,740 border crossing "encounters" per month. I'm unsure if it is correct to count these as deportations - but assuming so - then these account for ~480,000 of the 4M target. Leaving ~3.5M current residents to be deported. Or roughly 1% of the current US population. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-enc...
