For weeks now RWers in this space have been clamouring for DHS to "release the real numbers" and have accused the admin of lying and not deporting people.

Meanwhile leftwing academics are suing the government to show exactly how effective the fed has been. Not good enough, but anyone saying deportations aren't happening is just lying to you.

The important thing is that leftists frame this as the admin lying (it is) and claiming they are only deporting "criminal illegals" when the reality is they are going after everyone.

Even here, the admin says the bulk of it's arrests are from prisons but the reality is the opposite.

At lowest, street arrests are the same as prison deportations...

Similar here. Illegals without other criminal convictions are the most BY FAR targeted group in the country.

Previously ICE had a catch and release practice where even if an illegal had a court hearing they would release them back to the street. The admin ended this practice and barely anyone is being released after arrested.

They're either in detention centers or being removed from the country.

Read this paragraph. The admin is essentially demoralizing people so they leave, and according to Berkley, they are.

The overall caveat to all this is "not good enough" which I think everyone can agree with. But people screaming that deportations aren't happening are addicted to this website and touch themselves to agitprop because losing is easier than winning.

No different from the RINOs in the senate. They want to be the minority, they want to be whipped. They want to lose.
