      I think you need to relabel the Y axis because describing it as a “sum”, I’d expect the lines to consistently go up each year in a single presidency.

      The best part is Congress refusing to sign a bill to give more funding for ICE as they didn’t want Biden to be able to take cedit for it.

      The important context in this is the number of crossings. There was a surge during the Bush years and then during the Biden years. This increases the deportation of recent crossers. We can either use that as a denominator, or we can delineate between the internal deportations and those near the border. Internal deportations are rising rapidly right now unlike any time in history.

      Next do just the deportations that were done illegally.

      [Edit: rephrased the use of the word “illegal” for clarity]

      I’m fairly certain this isn’t accurate as Biden had more than trump did. I’ve looked this up several times and everything says trump had the lowest in decades

      Not where you’re getting your numbers because the source is locked, but I’m pretty sure you’re only counting removals and not returns.
