'Increasingly sloppy': Analyst warns angry Trump applying pressure for deportation ramp up

Raw Story  

President Donald Trump is angry that his policies aren't yet leading to the number of daily deportations he promised his supporters, and taking it out on his advisers, according to reports. "The Washington Post reported last month that senior Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have been told that 'each of the agency’s field offices should make 75 arrests per day and managers would be held accountable for missing those targets,'" wrote Brown. "Given ICE’s 25 field offices, that would mean 1,200 to 1,500 daily arrests, a massive increase from the few hundred per day under former President Joe Biden." In fact, deportations during the Biden administration far surpassed those during Trump's first years in office, with the 12 months from May 2023 seeing 740,000 undocumented immigrants removed from the U.S. — the highest number since 2010, the Washington Post reported. And things could escalate even further, he concluded — Trump's efforts to reinterpret the 14th Amendment to revoke birthright citizenship, currently blocked by the courts, could become "the next feeding grounds for an ever-hungry deportation machine, constantly on the search for new groups to expel from America in the name of MAGA."
