Will Trump deport 10+ million undocumented immigrants?

How many will be deported?

So what exactly is the largest law enforcement bureaucracy the US has ever assembled actually doing?

Mexico braced for Trump’s mass deportations. They haven’t happened.
When President Donald Trump pledged to launch the “largest deportation operation in American history,” this border city swung into action. The local government declared a state of emergency. Federal authorities built a shelter for up to 2,600 deportees, complete with beds, showers and white-coated chefs.

It was, one local official said, the “zombie apocalypse scenario.”

But five months after Trump took office, the shelter is nearly empty. So few deportees have arrived — an average of 38 a day — that one of the two floors has been mothballed.

The situation is similar in other Mexican border communities. While the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration arrests have sparked protests in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities, some of the migrants’ home countries have been surprised how few have been sent back.

“The reality is, up until now, there haven’t been mass deportations,” said Mónica Vega, the Baja California state official in charge of the Tijuana reception center.

The empty shelters represent a little-noticed irony in Trump’s campaign against illegal immigration. He has largely shut down the northbound flow of migrants through Mexico by ending U.S. asylum programs that had attracted hundreds of thousands of foreigners. As a further deterrent, he has sharply boosted troop levels along the border.

But those moves have dried up the pool of recently arrived, easy-to-deport migrants. For Trump to meet his goal of deporting 1 million migrants in his first year, he is turning to the more complex search for people who have lived in the United States without permission for years.

It’s hard to get precise information on how many people have been removed so far by the Trump administration. The Department of Homeland Security’s statistics office has stopped publishing monthly data on immigration enforcement. DHS did not respond to a question on why it’s no longer available.

Spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told The Washington Post that more than 239,000 migrants had been deported since Trump took office. She did not respond to a query on whether that included people detained by both the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. If it does — as analysts said was likely — it would be significantly fewer than the 341,060 repatriated from February through June last year under President Joe Biden.

Building the AI prison. 350 Billion from the BBB now, and nobody is crossing the border anyway.
Head Fake of ultimate proportions.

Do you suppose they recognize when they said, "I voted for this," they meant they actually voted for lower performance on deportations, while promoting greater harassment of people that were not going to be deported?

How is it lower performance?

Is it because the USA under Trump got Mexico and other South American countries like Panama to guard their side of the border?

That Trump convinced Mexico to deploy troops to their side of the border?

Is that not better performance?

Or is better performance letting millions of people into the country and deporting as many as you can? (which is border security theater.)

That way definitely shows bigger numbers of deported people but its because you let bigger numbers in.

It's not like every single district judge hasn't been gumming up the works all this time, or that Congress didn't take until just now to vote to give him the required money, right?:sarcasm:

He's still vastly increased deportations and driven huge self deportations, and it's going to accelerate much faster now.
Not to mention that many have been deported elsewhere than Mexico.

That's not deportation. That's enlarging the prison population -- already the largest in the western world -- so more corporations have access to more work release slave labor.

Those should be the priority. I don’t know what the right way to do it is, but it has to be done. Getting these undocumented people outta here is one of the primary reasons I voted for Trump.

Shouldn't ending the police state (it's expanding), ending foreign wars (we just attacked Iran unprovoked on the behest of Israel), cutting spending (the Big Beautiful Bill explodes spending overall while slashing money being spend on everyday Americans), and government transparance (Epstein files)? I honestly don't get this obsessin with mass deportation. It's not going to happen anyway. Trump just said it wasn't. But why the obsession?
