I've given in to "popular term at expense of policy nuance" on Muslim ban/travel ban. I don't think I'll ever do it for deportation force.
........................ correct me if i'm wrong, this is just hiring more ICE, right?

ok so...... here's my cynical question. why is "deportation force" the chosen popular elision? it's more characters and syllables than "ICE"
-
In '15 Trump made a comment (one!) about creating a deportation force, so everyone is looking for something to hang the label on.
-
No matter that it a) erases Obama and earlier enforcement and b) strongly implies community-wide sweeps/roundups (therefore sowing fear). :/
-
it might also be that people are trying to erase the obama years instead of incorporating them into a critique
-
I think both are true. The reason people care about imm now is because it gives them a way to crap on Trump.
-
idk i think there's something to be said about extremely overt animus without remotely plausible deniability
-
and the other thing is that obama used DREAMers as a fig leaf for his ultimately inhumane policies
