i also don't understand how you can say the deportations were worse before when trump just made ICE the most well-funded "law enforcement" agency in our country, possibly the world, and stephen miller is pushing quotas of thousands per day, having ice bust people at their places of work
Under Obama and Biden terms (12 years) there were about 10 million deportations. Under Trumps 1st term, 3.3M. I don't know what the current count is. I doubt it's going to hit Obama (Deporter In Chief, remember?).
And I know it's a lot more sensationalized now. And the agents are wearing masks. But when the Dems were doing EXACTLY the same methods, they didn't have an international spotlight and magnifying glass on every single raid. So I believe this is all about politics.
the left criticized obama for mass deportations. DACA was a big deal. the right WANTS mass deportations. DACA recipients are being detained/deported. you can't have this both ways
