Monatliche ICE-Abschiebungen (abgeschlossene Abschiebungen), ausgerichtet nach „Monat im Amt“, sodass beide Präsidentschaften die gleiche x-Achse haben. Die gestrichelte Linie markiert den Beginn von Semester 2; Trumps Zeile endet früh, weil der Datensatz dort endet.
Bei diesen Zählungen handelt es sich um Personen, die tatsächlich aus den USA abgeschoben wurden (keine Inhaftierten oder anhängigen Verfahren), und sie schließen Personen aus, die kurz nach dem Grenzübertritt zurückgewiesen werden.

Doesn’t really make sense to stitch the terms of Trump together as if they were consecutive.
This is really interesting considering the difference in visibility due to methods. I wonder if there’s metrics different that deportations that could explain it more.
Would love to bump up these numbers against habeas cases brought under both presidencies.
can you link me the source?
Obama being seen on as ’strong‘ on illegal immigration was a big factor in his popularity and his re-election. Biden being seen as weak on it was a big factor in Harris losing.
I love this because it just shows that Obama did the job better and more efficiently. He didnt militarize ICE, they wore badges, clearly marked cars and had matching jackets with ID. No masks. They also used due process.
Should overlay expenditure as well, which I think will really tell a story
Kind of proves that the point is not illegal immigration. It appears that the point is to have a lawless police force at your beck and call. That should come in handy for him during the elections.
Is the graphic labeled correctly? Obama used CBP much more heavily than ICE throughout his administration, but particularly during his first term where CBP was used more than twice as much as ICE.
Adding up the total numbers, I *think* it might be just ICE deportations, but then the graphic is a little misleading to include only ICE and not CBP when Obama did far more deportations through CBP.
Interesting how clearly you can see the mid-term backlash in Obama’s 2nd term that led to him backing off on interior deportations, in particular.
And even more interesting to see how Trump responded to the election in his first term, and then went into overdrive once he was in office. It might be split across 4 years, but it looks seamless with a purposely pre-election suspension of activities.
Well Trump has decided to buy a billion dollars worth of warehouses for holding immigrants so I have a feeling the numbers are going to look a lot different in about 6 months
It’s obvious to me that it was never about „immigration numbers“ for Trump. But being seen to be cruel with it.
Obama’s ICE dudes used different methods and didn’t dress up like a Temu G.I. Joes.
There is a reason Obama was nicknamed Deporter in Chief.
What this tells me is that the current methods and funding level for ICE are unnecessary for success. If the metric for success is simply getting illegal immigrants out of the country and not, you know, domestic terrorism.
Trump’s gestapo have been pretty unsuccessful in getting criminals out of the country. They’re better at assaulting/kidnapping/killing random citizens
During Obama’s 2nd term the administration ended the controversial Secure Communities program that caused minor offenders to be deported, that’s why the numbers started to get lower. They released new policies that guided Ice pushing resources toward violent criminals and recent border crossers rather than long-term residents with deep community ties. The administration also limited the automatic detention of non-criminal individuals by ICE.
Difference is Obama wanted to lower this number and create a more welcoming country, while Trump does the exact opposite. He (Obama) gave a shot to those actually wanting to settle, while removing the seriously criminal elements.
If anyone wants some context for Trump vs Obama in terms of immigration policy, this has been broadly discussed in the media. [link](http://Donald Trump’s Deportation Record Compared to Barack Obama’s – Newsweek https://share.google/BIYHIOjdc7sLJXaao)
The cope down here is astounding
Important to note, what this data set does NOT show is the number of pending cases of those still being held in detention centers awaiting judgements. Would be interested to see the comparison of number of those held longer than 6 months and average apprehension to completed deportation time.
Y’all- this isn’t about immigration for Trump, we can debate numbers and efficiency and due process all day long, but the scope is intended to be broader. If he is able to continue on they will come for our ideologies.
Factor in what percent that were actually „violent“ criminals as well as total CBP/ICE budgets
Obama did a lot more with a lot less. You’d think republicans would’ve celebrated the efficiency and financial responsibility.
reminder that Obama campaigned around stopping illegal immigration.
So basically Obama, who did things at least mostly the right way was much better at this, while also not violating rights, the constitution and spending billions of dollars while shooting Americans and torturing immigrants.
That makes the current approach even worse honestly, not only is it cruel and unusual but its inefficient and incompetent in its use of resources.
Isn’t it amazing that it can be done without human and constitutional rights violations.
Wow, so MAGA must be super happy with Obama’s first term, right? Right?
It’s interesting that despite spending more money on ICE and killing US citizens and detaining people wrongfully and circumventing the rule of law, Trump is failing to deport significantly more people. So the best you can say is his strategy is incompetent and inefficient.
A critical flaw of Trump and the far right people around him is that they’re incapable of being quiet about their deportations. They insist on rolling up to a city and making a huge show and being extra cruel, which ironically ends up slowing down the whole operation
The data is there, but I still feel when people (not op) say „Obama deported more than Trump,“ I feel it is always missed HOW it was done. Now, do a graph comparing Obama Vs Trump of valid American citizens being deported and how many were gunned down by ICE.
Wow. Obama managed to do all that without creating a gestapo to terrorize American cities?
So even at its peak trump still hasn’t deported as many people as Obama
Which one adhered to due process?
