Most of Trump’s deportation campaign is inaccessible because after arrests are made, it is moving quickly, far from public view. For every person arrested whose name and story we’ve learned, there are thousands we haven’t heard about @caitlindickerson.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
