"Their goal is to ramp up deportations.. as quickly as they can.

"Every single day now, new stories are coming out showing that they made a lot of mistakes."

But even when they admit their mistakes, Trump says he won't return those people to their families.

Right, it's to make money and a #distraction that almost half of #Project2025 has been pulled off

"I’m the #Canadian who was detained by #ICE for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
