Trump's historic' deportation campaign spreads fear on the streets, but the president wants more

"Donald Trump is not satisfied with the results of the immigration crackdown he launched as soon as he moved into the White House after winning the election a year ago. The raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) haven't gone far enough, he said in a recent interview on CBS's 60 Minutes, where he defended ICE agents' aggressive tactics, which have sparked protests across the country."

"The Trump administration claims to have deported more than 400,000 people since taking office a high number, but still short of the one million deportations the Republican had promised, and harder to achieve than he expected. Trump had already made it clear on the campaign trail: if he won, he would carry out the largest deportation effort in history. In his first 100 days, the Republican approved 175 immigration-related measures."

"Most of those actions were aimed at increasing deportations, but they also shut down borders and weakened asylum and refugee programs. The government has turned documented residents into undocumented ones, expelled workers who had committed no crime, separated families, and even detained U.S. citizens. He has been far more aggressive than anyone expected, more brutal, says Matt Barreto, a professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)."

President Trump launched an aggressive immigration crackdown immediately after taking office, increasing ICE raids and deportations while aiming for one million removals. The administration claims over 400,000 deportations but remains short of campaign promises. Early actions included 175 immigration-related measures in the first 100 days that expanded deportations, shut down borders, and weakened asylum and refugee programs. Enforcement has converted some documented residents into undocumented ones, expelled non-criminal workers, separated families, and detained U.S. citizens. Courts, including judges he appointed, have repeatedly warned that many policies violate rights; several cases have reached the Supreme Court.
