Here Are Some Of The Worst Illegal Immigrants Trump Deported In 2025

January 20, 2025, marked the commencement of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort.

Trump set out to hit a lofty goal of deporting one million illegal immigrants each year. Since Trump returned to office in January, federal immigration authorities have deported more than 605,000 illegal immigrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

While the number is short of the president’s goal, it’s still a record breaker. For comparison, former President Barack Obama, nicknamed the “deporter in chief,” deported roughly 432,000 illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2013 alone, according to federal data.

In addition to the more than 605,000 illegal immigrants Trump has removed from the United States, roughly 1.9 million others have left on their own, according to DHS.

Here are some of the worst of the bad hombres Trump has removed this year.

Infamous illegal migrant social media influencer Leonel Moreno was deported back to his home country of Venezuela in March.

Moreno was known for encouraging other illegal migrants to exploit welfare programs as he waved around wads of cash and bragged about the government handouts he’d received.

The viral TikToker crossed the border illegally in 2022 and was nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Ohio in 2024 for failing to report to required check-ins with federal authorities.

An immigration judge ordered him deported a few months later, but the Biden administration couldn’t get the Maduro regime to accept any deportation flights at the time.

When Trump returned to office, that all changed and Moreno was shipped off to Venezuela.

Mexican national Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, the illegal immigrant who was shielded by recently convicted Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan during a court appearance, was deported by the Trump administration, DHS said in November.

Flores-Ruiz had a rap sheet that included charges for strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse. He had previously been deported in 2013.

Flores-Ruiz was arrested in April by ICE officers who waited at the courthouse for the conclusion of his domestic abuse hearing. Investigators said Dugan had been informed of the agents’ presence and grew “visibly angry,” calling the situation “absurd,” according to witness interviews.

Dugan directed the ICE agents to the chief judge’s chambers before returning to her courtroom and instructing Flores-Ruiz to exit through the “jury door” into a nonpublic area of the courthouse, according to court documents. ICE agents later found Flores-Ruiz outside the building and cuffed him following a foot chase.

The Trump administration also deported Mexican illegal immigrant Rafael Alberto Cadena-Sosa who ran a sex-trafficking ring in Miami, where he and members of his family lured girls as young as 14 from Mexico to the United States under false pretenses, according to DHS.

The girls were promised jobs, but were instead forced into prostitution to pay their smuggling debts under the threat of violence, sexual assaults and death threats to themselves and their families. The women were trafficked for sex 12 hours a day, six days a week.

Cadena accepted a plea deal and was convicted of involuntary servitude in 2015. ICE arrested him in San Pedro, California before he was deported.

The Trump administration deported Aldrin Guerrero-Munoz, who was sentenced to 32 years in prison for murdering his 3-month-old son in Minneapolis. While behind bars, Guerrero-Munoz was convicted for assaulting another inmate.

ICE lodged a detainer with local authorities in Minnesota and received custody of him in October before they ultimately deported him, according to DHS.
