Trump team pushing ‘utter propaganda’ on deportations to create ‘climate of fear’: experts
Raw StoryThe Trump administration’s long-promised “largest mass deportation operation” in U.S. history, which was announced to begin “on day one,” has so far resulted in what some experts and immigration advocates suggest are an average number to mild increase in arrests and deportations. “The White House said immigration agents have arrested 538 undocumented immigrantswith criminal records and deported ‘hundreds’ more,” The Washington Post reported Friday. “Those numbers, if accurate, would be relatively modest for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement surge operations — a possible indication that the Trump administration’s show of force has so far outpaced the government’s capacity to deliver on the president’s lofty goals.” Ahead of his inauguration on Monday, the media was awash with reports that President Trump’s mass deportation of undocumented immigrants would start Tuesday, the day after he was sworn into office, and one day after it was originally supposed to. Wednesday night, Fox News host Jesse Watters posted video to his Facebook page, declaring, “FOX NEWS ALERT: The largest mass deportation operation in American history is underway, and Primetime has exclusive photos of ICE’s first arrests.” Numerous media outlets blared that the Trump administration on Thursday arrested 538 undocumented immigrants. The Biden administration had already ramped up deportations from the border to a higher level than it was under the Trump admin.” And pointing to Cartwright’s data, he noted, “In 2024, ICE carried out an average of 4.27 deportation flights per day The normal weekday total was above 6 deportation flights a day, per @thcartwright.
