Trump would have broader appeal on deportations if he deported violent criminals and not 4 year olds with terminal cancer, or had ICE arrest US citizens.Trumps failings on ICE raids is that they’re not aggressive enough.
Obama averaged 1800 deportations per day during his two terms, with a CBP and ICE budget smaller than it is under Trump, adjusted for inflation. As far as I'm aware, Obama's admin didn't bag any citizens, even by accident.
Donald doesn't care, though, and the MIGA movement doesn't care about actual numbers and statistics, just the appearance that something is being done.
Steven Miller is arresting US citizens, and that's cool and justified because... uh... it just is, ok!?
Fewer than 850 deportations per day under Trump is fucking pitiful.
