A woman is dead after being shot by a federal agent during an ICE operation Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the woman's actions leading up to the shooting "an act of domestic terrorism."
A key factor in the higher numbers under Biden is the use of Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that allowed for rapid expulsions of migrants without formal deportation proceedings; over 2.8 million expulsions occurred under this policy, mostly during Biden’s tenure. Critics note that many of Biden’s removals consist of “voluntary returns” at the border, leading some to label him the “returner-in-chief,” whereas Trump focused more on interior enforcement, though his overall numbers were lower.
Additionally, fiscal year data shows that deportations under Biden, particularly in FY 2023 and early FY 2024, outpaced those of any single year under Trump. While Trump promised large-scale deportations, the data indicates that Biden has overseen a greater number of removals and repatriations overall.
The gatcha is that electing a democrat like Biden or Harris won’t solve the issue, at best it’ll the same on deportations/deaths from ICE. More likely, deportations would be higher, with not much less of ICE deaths. So when someone said that it wouldn’t be this way, it’s fun to pop peoples bubbles and show them the specifics without the narrative. I’m not saying it would be worse or better, just pointing out that electing someone with higher deportation numbers won’t stop deportations, electing someone that drops more bombs on Muslim countries, and starts more wars, won’t end wars, and someone that raises more, even twice more, corporate money for their election won’t get corporate money out of politics. Yes I know, goal boasts blah blah, not the subjects, whatever.

The issue of unidentified masked men being emboldened to violent kidnap and disappear people off the street? You’re really gonna pretend this incident would have happened under Biden or Harris? That’s beyond absurd.
deportations would be higher
And as I asked you already, so what? Why is the raw number of deportations the gotcha? Do you not understand that isn’t at all what people are complaining about?
Because that is exactly the point I’m trying to make.
At least 26 people have died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody during the Biden administration. This figure includes 12 deaths recorded in fiscal year 2024 alone, which was the deadliest year under his presidency. The number of deaths has increased significantly in recent years, with the first three years of Biden’s administration seeing no more than four deaths per year, but a sharp rise to 12 in 2024. Despite this, the overall death rate per detainee is lower due to the record-high number of immigrants currently detained.

Prove it. And we’re still waiting for you to prove your other number.
Are you ever going to provide any real evidence? Or are you just openly admitting you don’t have any and you just believe whatever article comes up in a Google search, or whatever the hallucinatiom machine spits out?
You also haven’t answered my question, so I’m going to make it simpler for you.
What you’re saying is that if under Trump, 100 illegals came in, and he violently deported 800 people by pulling them out of their cars, that’s better than if under Biden 1000 people came in and he turned 900 of them away at the border.
Well, if I can’t prove it to you with charts, articles, AI responses, and Google searches, what else could I do? I would’ve liked to provide you with the data from ICE themselves, but I can’t make them release the data going back to 2003, or even 2025.
I never said there more deaths under Biden, just that there were more than 0, also with data that shows his peak was in 24, like it does in your graph.
To be clear, no you didn’t. Not even “kinda”. The data you provided doesn’t include any data from 2025 at all.
Every place? So share a few.
Share those charts.
Share the answers it’s giving. It won’t count as a source, but I’m skeptical that AI is even giving you that information.
Again, don’t come after me for any of these sources. They’re just my first couple search results. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-deportations-illegal-immigrants-trump-biden-lindsey-graham-1998758 https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/116859/documents/HHRG-118-GO06-20240215-SD013.pdf The AI answer Joe Biden’s administration has overseen more deportations and repatriations than Donald Trump’s first term. Data from the Department of Homeland Security shows that by July 2024, the Biden administration had carried out 4,677,460 removals, surpassing the 2,001,280 deportations during Trump’s first term. Another report states that Biden deported 4.44 million individuals in 2021 and 2022 alone, exceeding Trump’s first-term total of 3.13 million.

I’m parsing through this, but I think it’s worth establishing where the goalposts even are at this point.
You’re clearly going for a gotcha here, so help me understand what the gotcha even is.
Is deportation inherently bad? What is a “good” number of deportations?
Let’s even just assume you’re correct, why would Biden having a higher number of deportations inherently be worse?

Why do you believe that you be true?

Why are you pretending you’ve provided any charts? I’ve been hounding you for data and you haven’t produced any. Give me some charts!
Which is another way of saying that you’re spreading baseless claims. Why are you doing that?
Now I’m just simple country folk but this is different than the picture you paint.

Biden was president in 2025?
