From 2009 to 2017 Obama deported over 5 million individuals, not the 3.16 million as stated in the previous post.

Obama's first term he deported 3.2 million. Obama's second term he deported 2.1,... that totals 5.3 million deportations during the duration of Obama's two terms.

This is the reason Team trDUMP is on a pull all the plugs panic and deport as many people as they possibly can. Djt does not want Obama's deportation totals to exceed trDUMP's. Inorder for trDUMP meet the Obama quota of success trDump needs to drastically and dramatically pick up the pace. It would take 1,000 deportations per day for djt to meet/equal Obama's figures of deportation results. This is why Pee-Wee German is threatening terminations at Ice and DHS. trDUMP does not want to be left behind in the shadow of Obama's deportation results.

Headline:
PolitiFact FL: DeSantis is right, Obama deported more people than Trump did

As reported on National Public Radio,..

(Snip)
Federal data — tracking removals, returns and expulsions — shows Barack Obama deported more people in each of his terms than Trump did.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that if elected president, he’d do better at deporting people who are illegally in the country than former President Donald Trump did.

"Trump promised the largest deportations in history," DeSantis said Jan. 2 during a town hall hosted by Gray Television. "He deported less, believe it or not, than Barack Obama even did."

But did Trump deport fewer people than Obama? There are different deportation metrics, and Obama surpassed Trump’s numbers in each.

During Obama’s first term, fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2012, there were 3.2 million deportations (removals and returns). Fiscal year 2009 included about four months of the second George W. Bush administration. During Obama’s second term, covering fiscal years 2013 through 2016, there were 2.1 million deportations (removals and returns).
