Mass Deportation: Who Was More ‘Inhumane’— Obama or Trump?
Those who claim President Barack Obama deported illegal aliens more “humanely” make the following assertions: a) Immigration and Customs Enforcement didn’t go into the streets under Obama; b) there were no street activists/protesters/agitators; c) ICE only deported those with criminal records beyond illegal entry or illegally overstaying; d) Obama’s deportation numbers largely include “returns” or those deported at the border; e) the Obama administration did not engage in “lawlessness”; and f) ICE and/or Customs and Border Patrol arrested only illegal aliens after first securing a judicial warrant.
As for a), under Obama, ICE did go into the streets, including into the interior and into “sanctuary” cities like Chicago. Watch “Lost in Detention,” a 2011 episode of the PBS “Frontline” program, where, for example, an illegal alien mother stopped in Illinois for making an illegal lane change was ultimately deported back to Mexico.
Consider this X post:
“ … As someone who worked during (the Obama administration), it’s simple. All the ‘sanctuary cities,’ including mine, cooperated fully with ICE and Homeland… So, this, in fact is politicians’ fault because they pick and choose who they want to cooperate with …”
As for b), the media/Dems loved Obama, so they looked the other way. Again, under Obama, there was greater cooperation between local, state, and federal officials. In fact, several cities and states adopted sanctuary policies because of this cooperation.
The think tank Niskanen Center writes: “The Secure Communities program allowed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to issue detainers for anyone detained by local law enforcement … Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano (in October 2010) stated that DHS ‘did not view (Secure Communities) as an opt-in, opt-out program …
“In response, multiple local jurisdictions, including Cook County, Illinois, and Washington, D.C., passed legislation to limit local compliance with immigration detainers, thus creating sanctuary cities.”
There was no “ICE Watch” to alert activists and protesters. And Obama did not inherit an administration that allowed in 10 million to 15 million illegal aliens.
As for c), deporting only those with “criminal records,” this is from the “nonpartisan” factcheck.org, in January 2026, about the Trump administration: ” … Those with criminal convictions or pending charges represented 66% of arrests, which the administration has rounded up to 70%.”
About deportations with criminal records under Obama, in April 2016, The Washington Post wrote:
“While the number of deportations of illegal immigrants with criminal records has declined in recent years, last year this group made up almost 60 percent of the total number expelled from the country, the largest percentage in recent memory …”
As for d) that Obama deportation numbers mostly included those at the border, the left-leaning fact-check site snopes.com wrote:
“ … The claim that immigration authorities deported more than 3 million people during the Obama administration (2009-2017) is accurate based on ‘formal removal’ figures reported by the DHS. When including ‘returns’ (those removed at the border), however, the total exceeds 5 million.”
As for e), President Donald Trump’s supposed lawless deportations, economist John Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center wrote:
“The 170 ICE-detained US citizens … included about 130 arrested for interfering with or assaulting officers … justifiable under any reading of the law …
“Only about 40 or so of those who were detained claimed to be US citizens accidentally or erroneously arrested by ICE. … Most were released in a few hours.
“ … 40 mistakes out of 595,000 arrests amounts to an error rate of just 0.0067% — roughly one wrongful detention for every 14,925 arrests.
“By contrast (during the Obama administration) … In fiscal years 2015 and 2016, ICE recorded 263 mistaken arrests, 54 mistaken detentions (book-ins), and four mistaken removals … about one mistake for every 4,444 arrests …
“During the course of Obama’s two terms, from 2009 to 2017, 56 individuals died in ICE custody. … 56 deaths translates into a rate of 0.007%—roughly one death for every 14,314 detainees.
“By comparison, the rate last year under Trump was slightly lower: 0.0054%, or one death for every 18,594 detainees.
“ … Trump made no erroneous deportations through November.”
This brings us to f) about judicial warrants. Snopes.com wrote: “Over the eight-year period of the Obama administration, the percentage of removals carried out without a hearing before an immigration judge ranged from approximately 58% to 84%, averaging roughly 74%.”
What a difference an administration makes. Or rather, what a difference the media coverage of an administration makes.

The Mini-Bus, the Short Bus, and the Clown Car | The Roundtable Ep. 303
The recent government shutdown standoff has reached an end but, in yet another stage of the war against immigration enforcement, only temporary funding for Homeland Security has been passed. Democrats now aim at sweeping ICE reforms, Republicans at pushing through the SAVE Act requiring national voter ID—and dropping the Senate filibuster ahead of the midterms. Meanwhile, a New York jury has awarded $2 million in damages to a detransitioner who went through Female-to-Male “gender affirming care” at 16. Digging at the roots of malpractice and overdiagnosis and with a surgeon and psychologist on the hook, could the case signal the beginning of the end of trans-mania?

Trump Is Securing the Border—and America
Twenty years ago, then-President George W. Bush was serving his second term in office when Mario Ramiro Aragon, a Guatemalan national, was first removed from the United States.
“On or about August 10, 2006, United States Border Patrol (‘USBP’) encountered ARAGON, using the name Jose Juana-Zapata, in Sasabe, Arizona,” said an affidavit filed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this January in the U.S. District Court in Connecticut. “On or about August 12, 2006, USBP issued him a Notice and Order of Expedited Removal. … On August 19, 2006, ICE executed the expedited removal and removed him from the United States to Guatemala on an ICE operated flight from Phoenix, Arizona.”
ICE took his fingerprints and “advised him … that he could not return to the United States for a period of five (5) years as a consequence of having been found inadmissible.”
Aragon did not heed this advice.
Less than a year later, he was arrested in the United States again—on a more serious charge.
“On or about May 24, 2007, Homeland Security Investigations (‘HSI’) in Hudson/Newburgh, New York arrested ARAGON on charges of murder for hire and illegal reentry of a removed alien,” said the ICE officer’s affidavit. “On or about August 1, 2008, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York convicted ARAGON, under the name Mario Ramiro Aragon, of murder for hire, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1958. He was sentenced to 87 months of imprisonment.”
What had this formerly deported illegal alien done?
In a 2008 statement announcing Aragon’s 87-month sentence, the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York explained his crime.
“ARAGON pleaded guilty on December 12, 2007, to paying an undercover officer, posing as the would-be murderer for hire, to murder his brother-in-law,” said this statement.
“According to the criminal Complaint, ARAGON gave the undercover officer $200 as an advance payment for the murder,” said the statement. “The remaining $300 was to be paid after the murder was committed. ARAGON gave the undercover officer a physical description of the intended victim, and agreed to meet with the undercover officer the following day to show him the house where the intended victim lived.
“The following day, ARAGON and the undercover officer met again in New City, Rockland County,” said the statement. “ARAGON confirmed to the undercover officer that he wanted the intended victim killed, showed the undercover officer the house where the intended victim lived, and identified the intended victim in a photograph.
“ARAGON was arrested shortly thereafter.”
In 2013, Aragon was removed from the United States again, according to the ICE officer’s affidavit. This time, ICE flew him from New Orleans to Guatemala.
But he did not stay there.
“On or about July 21, 2019, USBP in Sasabe, Arizona encountered ARAGON after he illegally re-entered the United States,” said the affidavit.
“On or about January 15, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona convicted ARAGON of illegal reentry of a removed alien,” it said. “He was sentenced to 13 months and one day of imprisonment.”
In July 2020, ICE once again put him on a plane—this time in El Paso, Texas—and flew him back to Guatemala.
Then last month, Aragon was arrested by the Waterbury Police Department in Waterbury, Connecticut. “WPD arrested ARAGON for breach of peace in the second degree and criminal trespass in the first degree,” said the ICE affidavit. It also stated that “the WPD listed him as being homeless upon his arrest.”
This case is one example of why President Donald Trump is doing the right thing in securing this nation’s borders and enforcing our immigration laws within the country.
On Jan. 20, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem put out a statement summarizing her department’s accomplishments during the first year of Trump’s second term. “In President Trump’s first year back in office,” said Noem, “nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations and more than 675,000 deportations.”
By enforcing the immigration laws against those who are violating them in this country, the Trump administration has deterred illegal border crossings. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Border Patrol encountered a daily average of 5,110 individuals at the southwest border during the Biden administration, while daily encounters averaged only 251 in the first year of Trump’s second term.
This country must never go back to former President Joe Biden’s open borders.
