Attorney: Trump has designs to exceed Biden’s deportation record. It’s time to get realistic

Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported more than 271,000 people in the last fiscal year .

Ruben Navarrette : President Trump has designs to exceed Biden 's high by several orders of magnitude.

He says the U.S. has never conducted that kind of untargeted enforcement on the general immigrant population, and assuredly does not have the human or logistical resources to start now.

Anyone convicted of a state or federal offense classified as an “aggravated felony” under federal immigration law.

Anyone who has missed an immigration court date or otherwise has an outstanding deportation order is at risk.

Anyone on TPS should be prepared to receive a notice to appear in immigration court.

Anyone not in active removal proceedings is entitled to remain in U.S. until their cases have been completed.

Fewer than 1 million of the 3.6 million people now in active removal proceedings are represented by counsel.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association has approximately 16,000 active members, with maybe two-thirds of those taking deportation defense cases.

Immigration law is one of the most consistently complex and confusing parts of the entire legal system.
