Former President Barack Obama deported approximately 3 million people during his two terms in office, which is the highest number of removals by any U.S. president in history according to data from the Department of Homeland Security
. For example, in 2013 alone, the Obama administration deported a record- breaking 438,421 people, including a significant number with criminal records
. From fiscal years 2009 to 2014, around 2.4 million deportations occurred under his administration, with a focus on recent unauthorized border crossers and those with criminal convictions
. This high deportation rate earned Obama the nickname "Deporter-in-Chief" among immigrant rights advocates
