US deportations under Biden surpass Trump's record

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c36e41dx425o

20 December 2024

US immigration authorities last year deported the largest number of undocumented immigrants in nearly a decade, surpassing the record of Donald Trump's first term in office.

More than 271,000 immigrants were deported from the US over the last fiscal year, according to a report released by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency on Thursday.

The ICE report comes just weeks before President-elect Trump, who plans to make mass deportation a cornerstone of his incoming administration, takes office.

President Joe Biden in 2021 had pledged to pause deportations, but his administration ended up expanding it following a surge in border crossings.


Just a little reality in the midst of the MAGA squealing about Biden's "open borders" and pretending like these deportations did not happen under Biden.

Then why the ever loving fuck didn't Kamala USE that information to push back on Chump's droning on about "open borders" by the Dems?

If she did, I'm sorry I missed it. But as many people have said here before me the Dems need to stop with the long winded, pie chart loving, analytical answers in interviews and focus on repetitive sound bites that will actually be heard and remembered.
