Deportations Haven’t Surged Under Trump

“In the first two months of President Trump’s immigration crackdown, the administration has taken new and unusual measures to conduct deportations. It has enlisted military planes, pressured other countries to retrieve their citizens, sent people to third countries far from their homes, and invoked a wartime law to remove migrants without due process,” the New York Times reports.

“But even as immigration officials have escalated efforts to remove people from the United States, they continue to fall short of the mass deportations Mr. Trump vowed to carry out. Overall, the number of flights and their destinations look largely similar to those under President Joseph Biden.

Los Angeles Times: “The families of two Venezuelans deported to El Salvador say the Trump administration wrongly branded them as Tren de Aragua gang members.”
