This is what law enforcement looks like. When you're here illegally, there are consequences. Simple as that. Biden's catch-and-release was a disaster.
That's overly simplistic. Many detained were in process of getting citizenship. One woman was literally mid-application when taken. How is this effective policy?
The concerning part is the expanded detention powers. We're seeing citizens caught in these sweeps - including a veteran in Newark. That's a 4th Amendment issue.

Looking at the numbers: Biden averaged 311 deportations/day, totaling 1.5M over 4 years. Trump's hitting 956 in ONE day. This isn't about law - it's about spectacle.

only the immigrants who have committed an illigal act should be deported but if they haven't done anything wrong then they have the right to stay
