DHS data exposes deportation myths as ICE separates 5,000 children from families
Trump supporters falsely claim Obama family separations to defend brutal enforcement.
🛂Immigration📋Public Policy🔐Ethics✊Civil Rights
Obama focused on recent border crossers and criminals while Trump introduced unprecedented family separation policies
Trump deliberately separated 5,000+ children from parents as deterrent while Obama detained families together
Obama averaged 12,900 interior removals monthly vs Trump 2.0's current 4,300 monthly removals
Biden's 4.6 million deportations were mostly voluntary returns vs Trump's criminal prosecutions of asylum seekers
Trump 2.0 has resumed aggressive interior enforcement including worksite raids targeting local businesses
False equivalencies hide that identical deportation numbers can mask vastly different human rights approaches
Current Trump policies target all undocumented immigrants regardless of community ties or criminal history
