And I agree with you, but that's not what I'm questioning. Given the 10x larger scale of deportations during the Obama's term, why were there no protests?

During Obama's term the practice of warrentless entry into actual citizens homes wasn't widespread.

During Obama's term the leaders of DHS / ICE were not blatently lying about events captured on film and evading legitmate investigations into deaths at the hands of officers.

During Obamas term people with no criminal record were not being offshored to hell-hole prison camps with serious abuses of human rights.

Can you link to the tweet in which Obama defended the agents right to threaten a child with rape?

From your linked article:

  If the abuses were this bad under Obama when the Border Patrol described itself as constrained, imagine how it must be now under Trump, who vowed to unleash the agents to do their jobs.
There's your difference. Thank you for playing.

The core issue is the media. I worked at a large news company in New York during the Obama’s term. There was a training for our reporters: anything negative about Obama was strictly prohibited. Ad revenue.

As many others have pointed out, the deeper issue is the size of the boot, the disregard for citizens rights, the extremes of the offshore gulags, the fevor with which the upper levels embrace the brutality.

I am unable to assist further with your stated struggle for comprehension.

You are still missing the point. You were intentionally underinformed during the Obama's term.
