Tomi Lahren Rips Trump Admin ‘Flexing’ Over Illegal Immigration Stats: ‘Doesn’t Sound Like Mass Deportations to Me’

 

Fox News star Tomi Lahren bashed President Donald Trump for not deporting enough illegal immigrants in the last year, with Lahren arguing the administration needs to start booting way more people to live up to the president’s campaign promises.

Lahren ripped the Trump administration on Saturday while co-hosting The Big Weekend Show. She said she didn’t understand why DHS was bragging it has deported 356,389 illegal immigrants so far in fiscal year 2026, and said she did not think the administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration so far was “cutting it.”

“It’s not secret to our audience I’m very fired up about this. I, for the life of me, can’t figure out why DHS is flexing over 350,000 deportations in nearly a year,” Lahren said. “That doesn’t sound like mass deportations to me, in any sense of the word.”

Lahren said she understood there are hurdles and challenges to getting people out of the country, but she still wants to see those figures jump ASAP.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because Lahren skewered Trump on immigration just a few days ago on her Outkick podcast.

Lahren said the deportations need to speed up to counter the “millions and millions” of people who flooded the U.S. on President Joe Biden’s watch, and she also urged the Trump admin to target businesses using cheap illegal immigrant labor.

“I thought this administration stood for America First and the American worker. As a Trump voter, I know I don’t give one sh*t if big corporations, if they maybe risk losing their serf labor class to rightful deportations,” she vented. “All of this, quite frankly, is infuriating.”

Lahren said she is “big fan” of White House border czar Tom Homan, but has a problem with how immigration officials have reported deportations, adding there seems to be some “fudgin’” with the numbers going on:

When someone crosses the border and they say “No, No, No, go back.” They count that as a deportation, or an arrest. Well, I guess technically.

But when you’re talking about interior enforcement and the millions upon millions of illegal aliens that have been here and then add millions and millions more that Biden let in, saying that they crossed the border and then you put ’em right back, that’s great. Good work.

But you’re adding that to the totals, and I believe they’re also adding in totals from coast guard and other numbers to pad those numbers. That’s another concern I have.

Lahren added on the government figures, “I don’t want to say [they are] cooked, but perhaps sautéed a little bit.”

Her beef with the White House follows deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller saying last week the Trump administration was going be talking to financial institutions about de-banking illegal immigrants.

“Once illegal aliens lose their access to capital, that is going to again, be a major driver of self-deportation,” Miller said.
