How many is it? Your link gets us to 1, and it's from months ago. I expected you to link the number since you're claiming it's high.

Supposedly there's been 500k deportations, and 2.5m "self-deportations" in 2025, so what would be high here?

Edit: I also googled that man's name. A quick read of nbcs article suggests it's not clear he's a citizen. The judge said he "had a substantial claim to citizenship," which means nothing either way. He was born in Thailand.

"In his Nov. 3 brief, [a lawyer] contends Souvannarath stayed in the United States for 19 years after his removal order without challenging it or seeking proof of citizenship."

I love how you get to use unconfirmed bullshit numbers in your argument but then demand an exact count for the opposition to mix with your nonsense.

Well I have an exact count already of deported citizens in 2025: zero.

The official DHS statistics quote over 605k deported: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/12/10/thanks-president-trump-a...

The guardian says 327,000 a few weeks ago: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/22/ice-detentio...

You do the math

“I’m quoting the numbers from the fascists themselves. See they’re doing nothing wrong!”
Okay, how many people do you think they've deported?
