"One reason" deportations haven't picked up is that ERO missions are lacking planning, leadership, and verified intel. Sure, people are on guard, but when you don't have a plan and send officers to an address that's 20 years out of date to arrest someone who can't be removed, this is what you get.

It's worth noting here that the metric HSI/ICE is pursuing is not deportation but simply arrest. This results in the arrest of people who will not be deported just to get the numbers up. One wonders if the warrants swearing that subjects under no removal orders are 4th amdmt violations.
