Trump’s Deportation Goals Collide with Reality

Time: “Trump campaigned in 2024 on overseeing ‘the largest deportation in the history of our country.’ He has frequently said that his Administration is deporting ‘the worst of the worst criminals.’ Yet those two goals have proven to be incompatible.”

“In reality, tens of thousands of people with no criminal record or pending criminal charges have been being pulled off the streets by immigration agents and put into detention centers. If that pattern were to stop, the Trump Administration’s deportation stats would likely plummet.”
