Summary
Trump is reportedly frustrated that deportation numbers are lower than expected, pressuring ICE officials to accelerate arrests and removals.
His administration set a goal of 1,200–1,400 daily arrests, but actual figures have fallen short, sometimes below 300 on weekends.
ICE leadership, including “border czar” Tom Homan, has expressed dissatisfaction with the pace.
To meet Trump’s pledge of “millions and millions” of deportations, removals would need to exceed 2,700 per day.

Does Trump think there’s a spreadsheet of undocumented workers where you can just go to their house and arrest them? Or that anyone who works for ICE can sort and filter a spreadsheet?
They did raids on Chicago first, possibly the city least likely have undocumented works.
You’re forgetting he made up “the millions and millions of illegal immigrants crossing the border”
Which, to him, are all living together in halls and single decrepid buildings and easily picked up.
He envisioned the numbers and now must make them exist, or at least make the deportations logically match up.
Ofcourse it’s not going to line up so he’ll find new victims, next targets will be freshly awarded green cards, to be checked for discrepancies like spelling errors or those with recent adress changes, or say any green card holder who committed a small crime like jaywalking in the last 10 years.
But hey, it is good for the unemployment numbers!
… Hitler also targeted others besides jews, gypsies, colored, disabled people, all under the pretense of danger to and burdens on the society …
The first modern hospital — as in science based and not getting your humours balanced — to provide gender affirming care was opened in Berlin in 1919. Not a lot new they’re doing.

“What do you mean there’s no documentation for the undocumented immigrants?!”
We checked everywhere in St. Louis and it turns out, it’s not even close to a border. They would have had to take a ferry boat from the Port of New Orleans and win a few poker hands.
It’s right on the border! Misery on one side and Illinois on the other!
/s, but not really as I’m sure that they are going to try to lock down interstate travel
I sure hope he does not give himself an aneurysm or have a panic attack over being such a failure.
What a gift that would have been.
Unfortunately, this is a worst-case survivorship bias. Generally, the angru fucks that are going to die of a brain aneurysm don’t make it to his age.
The ones that do have pretty much already battle-chested their brain vessels.
Do you mean battle tested? Lol
Fuck, I did. That’s what I get for using voice to text.
I do.
Preferably while at a rally or press conference, and immediately after sharting in his diaper.

I’m angry too. Trump should deport Elon.
He’s like Stalin demanding for more names on his list
This is how you start deporting citizens who are Hispanic.
They can’t. ICE doesn’t have the manpower. That is, unless they get military assistance.
Current people in charge of the military won’t go along with it. Trump will need to purge them and put lackies in charge.
lackeys*
(In case you want to use this word somewhere that spelling matters)
This is not entirely the case.
In theory, Trump’s deportation goals could be met by ensuring that the US is so hostile to illegal immigration that immigrants already here choose to return home willingly rather than be deported by force. Trump would certainly prefer it that way, as he would take credit for all of those numbers as well, without having to worry about actually expending resources deporting them or dealing with the backlash that comes with forced deportations, since they’d be leaving on their own.
Now I don’t know if there’s a realistic way Trump could make the US become so hostile that immigrants start willingly packing up and leaving by the thousands per day, but we all damn well know that he’s going to try.
And if he can’t, he’ll save face by going full WWE and just making up the numbers as he goes along. Not like his rubes actually have a way to check. Or even know how to count that high. Or how to count.
… that immigrants already here choose to return home willingly rather than be deported by force.
They’re a lot harder to count that way.
That is, unless they get military assistance.
Let me introduce you the headache inducing law know as the Posse Comitatus act
The shit this guy gets off on.
They should raid all the trump properties that employ undocumented workers
Biden deported from places that wanted to deport people, like Texas. Trump is focusing on places that restrict cooperation with ICE. They have/had the same man power to do the deportations. Of course Trump’s numbers are going to be lower.
Start with that whore Melanie. No, musk first, actually.
