This article examines the current situation regarding the deportation of Polish immigrants from the United States, particularly in the context of anti-immigration policies implemented during the Trump administration. According to data provided by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), between January 20, 2025, and November 30, 2025, 184 Polish citizens were detained for deportation. The piece suggests that while these numbers reflect a concerning trend, they are relatively low compared to deportation rates of other nationalities, indicating that Poles face fewer deportation actions overall.

The author points out that Polish immigrants tend to be better educated and have a more favorable economic status in the United States than the average American. This circumstance is significant when discussing the impact of deportations, as it highlights that the Polish community may contribute positively to American society. The perspective of Polish officials, such as Jan Dziedziczak, former secretary of state in the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, is included, asserting that the marginal scale of deportations (around three individuals per state) shows that Polish immigrants are less affected by the harsh immigration policies compared to others.

Furthermore, personal stories of Poles facing deportation illustrate the emotional and societal consequences of these policies. The article emphasizes that while the number of deported Poles is low, each case represents substantial individual hardships. The implications of these deportations resonate within the Polish community in the USA, raising concerns about the treatment of immigrants amidst changing political landscapes. By drawing comparisons to other immigrant groups, the article frames the Polish experience within the broader narrative of immigration and policy effects in the United States.
