- Alupis 1y agoHow many tariffs have been realized? Very few... Deporting known criminals and gang affiliates isn't a "mass deportation campaign". Don't allow your flavor of politics to cloud your world view. And... you've interpreted my writings incorrectly. I've been hoping for reciprocal tariffs most of my life...

You’re right though there has been only a marginal increase in deportations specifically of criminals. https://www.cato.org/blog/65-people-taken-ice-had-no-convictions-93-no-violent-convictions https://www.cato.org/blog/65-people-taken-ice-had-no-convict...

Just because there can be MORE deportations and MORE tariffs doesn’t mean he’s not doing them lol. You’ve done a fine job of revealing your motivated reasoning anyhow.
