Who will Trump/Miller deport? [View all]

I'm guessing all undocumented immigrants convicted of a felony or misdemeanor and all who arrived during Biden's term (estimated 6+ million - deportations so far). That will put a cap on the numbers.

This would allow them to pitch it as cleaning up Biden's mess, while providing some relief to those who have been here longer.

What about those who arrived in the first term, 2017 - 2020? All in good time my little pretty, all in good time.
