20 December 2024 US immigration authorities last year deported the largest number of undocumented immigrants in nearly a decade, surpassing the record of Donald Trump's first term in office.

More than 271,000 immigrants were deported from the US over the last fiscal year, according to a report released by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency on Thursday.

The ICE report comes just weeks before President-elect Trump, who plans to make mass deportation a cornerstone of his incoming administration, takes office.

President Joe Biden in 2021 had pledged to pause deportations, but his administration ended up expanding it following a surge in border crossings

I don't doubt that these deportations will be bad. However, what I feel the need to point out, is that the media was not reporting on Bides deportations in the same way they are now reporting on Trumps.

Trump is not to be out done, but there is a likelihood these raids will be no different then Biden's, but the reporting on them will be wildly different.

Stay vigilant as always, don't be fooled into thinking it was better under Biden.

And I’m still trying to figure out why this is, but I suppose the simplest answer is that outrage is a better model despite nothing changing from a consequential POV

Because politics in the USA operates on the Pro Wrestling Face/Heel formula. This was supposed to be the Face year, but it became clear as the year went on that this Face couldn't keep up the act and was turning heel. Now that the true heel is coming into office expect the news media to follow suit and report on his actions accordingly.

There are at times inter personal grudges that bleed into the performance, but all this does is enhance the show. Lesser Faces will come out of retirement to flaunt their virtues and ideals, to taunt and gesture to the crowd as the Heel enters the ring.

The Face, The Heel, and the Media (Announcers) work together to put on a lively and thrilling show, and when they get back stage, they high five and get changed in the same locker room. Their collective goal to profit off your attention. From our perspective, were the annoying friends, cousins, brothers, and sisters telling people we know that wrestling's fake.

This is not serious analysis. Please don't take it seriously.

What’s the infrastructure look like, where would they be deported to, and is that country going to play ball?

By the way he's doing this, the deportations would prolly equal, if not outpace that of the Khmer Rouge's
