Immigrant population falls by more than a million people since Donald Trump took office in January. Key US politics stories from Saturday 23 August
The immigrant population of the United States, which has been growing for more than 50 years, has declined by more than a million people since Donald Trump<\/a> took office in January.
According to a new study<\/a> by the Pew Research Center, there were a record 53.3 million immigrants in the US in January, when Trump took office for the second time. By June, that number had dropped to 51.9 million.
Among all US residents, 15.4% were immigrants as of June 2025, down from the recent historic high of 15.8% in January.
The Pew survey also found that 750,000 immigrant workers had dropped out of the US labor force since January, which is now 19% foreign-born.
Here are the key Trump administration<\/a> news stories of the day:
The Pew Research Center pointed to several policy changes that have affected immigrant populations across the US, including Joe Biden\u2019s restrictions<\/a> on asylum applications in 2024, which led to a significant decrease in border crossings involving immigrants seeking asylum.
Additionally, the center pointed to Donald Trump\u2019s 181 executive actions<\/a> targeting immigration, including the arrival of new immigrants and the mass deportation of noncitizen immigrants.

US immigration officials said they intended to deport Kilmar \u00c1brego Garc\u00eda to Uganda<\/a> after he declined an offer to be deported to Costa Rica<\/a> in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty to human smuggling charges, according to a Saturday court filing.
The 30-year-old was initially deported by federal immigration officials in March. The Trump administration admitted \u00c1brego\u2019s deportation was an \u201cadministrative error\u201d<\/a> but officials have repeatedly accused him of being affiliated with the MS-13 gang, a claim \u00c1brego and his family vehemently deny.

It will now be sent to governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, who is expected to quickly sign it into law.

Students and faculty heading back to US colleges and universities<\/strong> from summer break are returning to bruised institutions reeling from the Trump administration\u2019s unprecedented campaign to bend higher education to its ideological will, and are bracing for more uncertainty ahead<\/a>.
Prominent Democratic lawmakers and legal advocates have called for the new immigration detention camp<\/a> at Fort Bliss military base to be shut down<\/strong> amid accusations of lack of external oversight and concerns over access to legal services<\/a>.
