I have a sibling who was deported from the US (long, stupid story). There was a 6 month gap from when we'd been told he'd been deported, to when he was actually deported. And this was 15-20 years ago, it's not a recent change. It is absolutely a system that's designed to disappear people. It's just headcount for income, no-one cares who those heads belong to.
