Prior presidents had the benefit of states and cities respecting ICE detainers and turning illegals over without ICE having to track them down.
You know, on top of not having to fight through protestors to do their job.

While his rhetoric emphasized mass deportation, his annual removal numbers were lower than Obama's peak years, partly due to reduced cooperation from some local jurisdictions and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

#Obama administration: Homan was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement's executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.

By 2014, under the Obama administration, Homan began to argue that separating children from their caregivers would be an effective way to discourage illegal border crossings. The journalist Caitlin Dickerson has called him the "intellectual father" of the policy, which he outlined years before the Trump administration adopted it. "Most parents don't want to be separated", Homan told Dickerson. He argued that this makes separation an effective tool for immigration enforcement: "I'd be lying to you if I didn't think that would have an effect.

In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. The Washington Post wrote, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."

And somehow the "kids in cages" policy that Obama praised was only ever blamed on Trump.

So if it was wrong when Obama permitted it, how is it suddenly ok under the Trump regime?

You tell me. It's the left that didn't care when Obama did it and suddenly did when Trump just continued the policy.

I asked the question. Answer it or admit you can't because it would expose you as a hypocrite.

It's the left who made a big stink about that, not the right.
So only the left said it was wrong under Trump after saying nothing under Obama.

You desperately trying to deflect because you can't reconcile that obvious hypocrisy ain't gonna fly.
