US deportations under Biden surpass Trump's record
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c36e41dx425o20 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.
