Are there any heroic figures in history, known primarily for arresting and deporting people.

I don't mean tyrants, but actual heroic leaders.

This is Trump's legacy. And the rightwing claps like clueless seals in approval.

Trump to the dustbin of history where he belongs.

1. The OP attests to the long arc and judgment of history

Also, economically, once the tyrant exploits everything for himself and his sycophants, the people rebel.

So, no, there are no heroic tyrants, they manage the political system for themselves and that's not sustainable over the long term.

2. "Known primarily", or ones that have actually done so, and reported on very little?

This may be a path you don't wish to walk down...

4. I couldn't think of anyone who's done it who celebrates the process like Trump except tyrants.

3. Oscar Schindler?

No, I guess he is considered sanctuary all the way.
