I had a suspicion the mass deportation gambit was a red herring. We had a single week of shock and awe and then....nothing. We were expecting news cycles inundated with images of children ripped apart from families and boarded onto ICE buses like cattle, but I haven't seen any images even remotely like that since January. Deportation numbers are lacking what we saw in the last year of Biden's term. But I don't think voters who are otherwise amenable on deportations have caught on to this because the reckless dismemberment of the federal government is devouring all of the headlines as the scale of immigration raids has been a microscopic fraction of what was promised.
Could be. I def think the first two weeks had a lot of “look busy” energy, and today there was news that they’re moving migrant detainees away from Gitmo after realizing a week or two ago military flights were too expensive.
Long run, though, I imagine the lack of border encounters is the number the administration will actually flag
