The claim that President Donald Trump has deported over 13,000 Cubans across his two terms is rated as 'Mostly True.' Official government data confirms approximately 3,400 deportations during his first term (2017–2021). While the Department of Homeland Security has not released consolidated official figures for his second term, data analyzed by Human Rights Watch—based on ICE records obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request—estimates that approximately 8,500 Cubans were deported between the start of his second term and August 5, 2026. This brings the total to nearly 12,000, a figure that may have increased since the August data cutoff.
