This approach mirrors a strategy used by the Obama administration, which drew criticism from Republicans for allegedly inflating deportation numbers. The Trump administration's plan, spearheaded by Border Czar Tom Homan, combines interior removals with border apprehensions to achieve higher figures. AI
