News from within the empire - From a leftist perspective
Trump administration has struggled to make good on their promise to detain and deport more people than the Biden administration.
It hasn't even been 6 months yet. Biden deported a shit ton of people over the course of 4 years. They should take it fucking easy.
That's kind of what's crazy to imagine, is that by all means, the Biden administration has deported much more immigrants than this Trump administration, not just overall but also within the same time frame. The reason it's much more visible now is because they WANT it to be more noticed, as they are trying to sell an image of themselves as tough on immigration.
Really? Within the first 3 months or so of the Biden Administration they deported the same or more numbers than Trump Admin 2.0 has now?
Yes, and Biden's admin had the highest levels of deportations over the past 10 years. The reason Trumps second term seems worse is because they're dropping pretenses and all semblance of due process to try and surpass those numbers, without taking care to target only those that the media doesn't care about. The media was also surely content to not discuss the issue when Biden was in office, so this may well be a case of a long pre-existing issue only being taken notice of when the "wrong team" is in charge.
Damn, that's terrible. I knew Biden had very high total numbers but I hadn't realized that the rate was higher for the same timeframe.
turns out when you do indiscriminate and unlawful raids, people will hide or go somewhere else, making harder to depart people.
