Trump is a numbers guy, so let's see some - Not enough deportations and prosecutions so far for Trump 47

Step it up. Trump supporters had to endure daily reports of illegals, caravans, clashes at the southern border, etc. "Not if, but when..."

I WANT TO SEE DAILY NUMBERS with regard to deportations, the same way we see nearly daily reports from DOGE about how much money Elon is saving the U.S. Government.

March 9, 2025

President Donald Trump swept into his second term with a mandate from the American people: secure the border, deport illegal immigrants en masse, and restore law and order. His campaign rhetoric electrified supporters, promising “millions and millions” of deportations and a swift crackdown on anti-American agitators. Yet, nearly two months into his administration, the numbers tell a frustrating story—deportations are lagging behind even the Biden administration’s totals, and the bold, visible action Trump voters crave remains elusive. For a base that turned out in droves expecting decisive retribution, the pace feels more like a trickle than a torrent.

Let’s start with the numbers. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Trump’s team deported 37,660 people in his first month, a figure trumpeted as progress but paling in comparison to Biden’s monthly average of 57,000 removals in his final year, per Reuters data from February 22, 2025. Biden’s four-year total hit 1.5 million deportations, bolstered by a record 271,000 in fiscal year 2024 alone, as reported by the Migration Policy Institute. Trump’s first term peaked at 267,000 deportations in 2019, a number his supporters expected him to shatter this time around. Instead, we’re seeing a sluggish start—5,693 deportations in the first two weeks, per DHS, a pace that, if sustained, wouldn’t even reach half of Biden’s 2024 haul. For a president who vowed a “wartime effort” to expel illegal immigrants, as noted by The Washington Post on February 15, 2025, this is a disappointing opening salvo.

The daily media drumbeat of migrant caravans only amplifies the frustration. Outlets like Fox News report waves of illegal crossings, with Border Patrol encounters dropping 35% in Trump’s first three days compared to Biden’s last, yet still numbering in the thousands. These caravans, often framed as an “invasion” by Trump himself, mock the administration’s early border security wins—like shuttering Biden’s CBP One app and reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy. ICE arrests have spiked, doubling for those with criminal records, but detention space is maxed out at 41,500, per DHS mid-February figures. With 4,000 more detainees than at Trump’s inauguration and 3,000 released back into the country due to capacity issues, per The New York Times on March 4, 2025, the system seems to be creaking rather than crushing the problem. Trump supporters didn’t vote for half-measures—they want the “mass deportations” promised, not a bottlenecked bureaucracy.

Then there’s the glaring absence of swift, public action on other key pledges. Trump vowed to revoke visas and deport protesters—especially those anti-American agitators clogging streets in cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, as documented by Wikipedia’s 2025 protest entries. Yet, despite high-profile demonstrations blocking highways and chanting bilingual slogans like “nobody is illegal on stolen land,” no visa revocations have hit the headlines. Where’s the ICE sweep rounding up these disruptors? Where’s the deportation flight footage of them being shipped out on military planes—a spectacle the White House briefly teased on social media but hasn’t delivered consistently? The base wants visible retribution, not vague assurances from Border Czar Tom Homan that “targeted enforcement” is underway, as he told NBC News on January 22, 2025.

Equally galling is the lack of accountability for leakers within DHS and the FBI. Trump’s team has mobilized these agencies to assist ICE, with FBI agents now wielding Title 8 immigration authority—an unprecedented move praised by former ICE officials like Patrick Lechleitner in The Washington Post on January 28, 2025. But whispers of ICE raid leaks persist, undermining operations and emboldening sanctuary city resistance. Trump promised to prosecute these “bad actors,” yet no high-profile indictments have surfaced. Supporters expect scalps—names like those of Biden-era holdovers who allegedly tipped off targets in cities like New York, where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem joined raids but saw only 20 arrests, eight without criminal records. This isn’t the “dirtbag” purge Noem boasted about on X at 6:13 AM on January 28, 2025—it’s a tepid sideshow.

On a brighter note, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk is a beacon of hope. Their razor-sharp focus on slashing waste—like the billions funneled through USAID that critics allege bankrolled anti-American protests—has energized the base. Reports trending on X suggest these funds, once misdirected to radical NGOs under Biden, are now being redirected to bolster border security. DOGE’s no-nonsense approach is peak Trumpism: bold, brash, and unapologetic. But here’s the rub—none of the corrupt players tied to that fraudulent largesse have faced justice. No USAID officials, no NGO heads, no paper trail of accountability. Trump’s base wants perp walks, not just pie charts.

The administration’s PR blitz—raids with Dr. Phil in tow, Noem’s body-armored photo ops—has dazzled, as POLITICO noted on February 4, 2025. But it’s not enough. Trump supporters didn’t elect a showman; they elected a sheriff. Biden’s lax border policies let millions slip through, and while Trump’s early moves—like troop deployments and Guantanamo’s revival as a migrant hub—are steps forward, they’re not the knockout blow promised. The American people deserve more than a 627% arrest spike over Biden’s paltry 33,000 at-large arrests last year, as DHS crowed on March 1, 2025. They deserve millions deported, visas yanked, leakers locked up, and protest funders exposed.

President Trump remains our champion—his vision for a secure, sovereign America is unshakable. But the clock’s ticking. The base demands follow-through, not fanfare. Step up the deportations, crack down on the agitators, and deliver the public retribution we voted for. Anything less betrays the mandate of November 2024. 17GEN4.com
