Regardless of who is in power, the number of annual deportations has risen fairly consistently since 1968. But the rate of that rise began to increase precipitously in 1981 under Ronald Reagan, climbing to new heights under Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, followed by an all-time high under Barack Obama that has yet to be matched by Donald Trump. And deportation rates are not the only area in which Democrats rival Republicans: under Joe Biden’s administration, the portion of ICE detainees held in private prisons increased from 81% to a whopping 90.8%. Biden’s commitment to ending private prisons conspicuously failed to include ICE detention.
