President Donald Trump continues to pursue an aggressive deportation campaign that has brought federal officials into U.S. cities and towns, apparently to detain as many undocumented and documented individuals as possible. Many of those apprehended are subsequently held in detention and removed from the country.
For many Americans, the constant stream of controversy, drama, and scandal makes it difficult to grasp how far-reaching the administration’s actions have been. Under the direction of Stephen Miller, Trump has launched one of the most aggressive deportation campaigns in recent history. In contrast to President Barack Obama, who also undertook a major deportation effort (critics called him the “deporter-in-chief”), there is no longer any ambition or effort to secure a path to citizenship in exchange for the hardline stance.
