"But from the earliest weeks of Trump 2.0, the administration has been challenged in the courts. It has dealt with backlash for ignoring judicial orders and had to apologize for some wrongful deportations, although some of those deported are still fighting to return. It has even faced ridicule after allowing a high-profile criminal suspect to avoid trial in the U.S. by asking for deportation."
"A man charged in the "largest jewelry heist in U.S. history" was deported before his trial. Much of the jewelry has not been found, according to the Los Angeles Times. An attorney for Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores, who was deported to Ecuador in December, argued that the case should be dismissed with prejudice so it can't be refiled. The judge is still determining how to dismiss the case and whether it can be refiled if Flores ever returns to the U.S."
As of late January, DHS reported deporting 675,000 undocumented immigrants. From the earliest weeks of the administration, deportation actions drew court challenges and backlash for ignoring judicial orders. DHS issued apologies for some wrongful deportations while some deported people continue fighting to return. A high-profile criminal suspect was allowed to leave the U.S., avoiding trial through deportation. Five prominent deportation cases went awry, including a suspected jewelry thief deported before trial with missing evidence and legal disputes over dismissal, and a 19-year-old college student deported over Thanksgiving despite a judge's order and uncertainty about her knowledge of a removal order.
