Can I get a smug lecture on how you're choosing the third, disconnected track?

You're making an extremely dishonest comparison by lumping all deportation together.
Border deportations are mostly a function of arrivals. Someone comes in, and gets denied. When they're walking back across the border, that's a deportation. You can make a LOT of laws, but you're not likely to influence that much.
Interior deportation is what people are bothered by. Obama shifted to deporting illegals with criminal records. Trump is just grabbing people off the street, regardless of what they did, and often regardless of status.
Then there's the fact that Trump has made it intentionally hard to track data. Under Obama and Biden the data was clear and available, and for trump's 2nd run, everything is being covered up and no data is available anymore. So it's mostly guesswork.
