Claimant: Angie Nixon (D)
Claim: President Donald Trump has deported “over 13,000 Cubans since he has been in office, his first term and his second term.”
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: Government data show about 3,400 Cubans were deported during Trump’s first term, while Human Rights Watch estimated roughly 8,500 had been deported during his second term as of Aug. 5, 2026. That totals close to 12,000, and the number may have risen further since that estimate.
