CNN —Given his rhetoric demonizing undocumented immigrants and his promise to engage in mass deportations when he returns to the White House in January, it’s kind of shocking that deportations actually dropped in the four years Donald Trump was president.
Appearing Monday on Fox News, Homan said Trump 2.0 will be like his first term but with more deportations.
During his first term, Trump also promised mass deportations.
But that’s about half the 2.9 million deportations undertaken during Barack Obama’s first term and fewer than the 1.9 million deportations during Obama’s second term.
It’s on par with Biden’s 1.49 million deportations, according to updated calculations Bush-Joseph shared with me.
