    ive been seeing some supposed marxists spreading a narrative that the deportations havent actually increased with trump, that he’s just been advertising what was already going on in previous governments, to please his supporters.

    Is this thing of sending immigrants to guantanamo a new thing? are the deportations worse than before? is the narrative i mentioned a big distortion of reality?

      Guantanamo is new ripple as far as the broader public is aware.

      Deportation hard numbers don’t fluctuate much from admin to admin.

      The process in how they’re deported was handled a lot differently under Trump than previous. More saber rattling and human rights concerns.
