This isn’t new under Trump. But it’s entertaining watching everyone pretend it is. Obama had similar rules around standing deportation orders and how quickly they could be executed once an alien was in custody. If you’ve stood before a judge, argued why you should be allowed to stay and lost, you have a standing deportation order. That’s due process. Nothing has been denied. It makes for a great talking point but is a pretty shallow analysis of what is going on or their historical relevance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

While Obama, Biden, and Trump all had cruel deportation policies, the previous two didn't have 5-figure bonuses for a deportation. Additionally, the performative method of how they're looking for deportations, its random, violent, and meant to send a message of powerlessness and fear. The point is fear and cruelty. As was Family separation under Biden, the cruelty is accelerating. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
