"During the second presidency of Donald Trump, federal immigration enforcement
policies and operations have resulted in the documented arrest, death,
detention, and removal of American citizens. As of October 2025, the U.S.
government was not tracking the number of detained or missing citizens. The
deportation of U.S. citizens from the United States is illegal.
High-profile detention cases of American citizens include arrests of elected
officials, disabled adults and children, and Puerto Rican and Indigenous
people. Donald Trump has supported taking away citizenship from Americans and
detaining citizens in foreign prisons noted for human rights abuses.
Congressional Democrats have challenged the Trump administration to justify the
detention of U.S. citizens and have been blocked by the Trump administration
from investigating, passing laws limiting abuses, or overseeing immigration
actions affecting U.S. citizens. Trump, other Republicans, and administration
officials alternately confirmed, defended, and denied reports of American
citizens being arrested, deported, and detained. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) was confirmed by independent review and U.S. judges to have
violated laws including the Immigration Act of 1990 by interrogating and
detaining people without warrants or review of their citizenship status.
The Trump administration's treatment of U.S. citizens has raised concerns among
civil rights advocates. Some activists have compared the impact of ICE on
American citizens to concentration camps such as Manzanar, where
Japanese-Americans were interned during World War II. Between 110,000 and
120,000 U.S. citizens were imprisoned by the U.S. government during the
internment of Japanese Americans for political reasons from 1942 to 1945. The
Cato Institute called Trump's immigration regime damaging to American
interests. Legal and immigration experts have stated that these legal
violations were caused by Trump administration pressure to deport people
quickly without safeguards."
