Many of Trump’s proposals for his second term are surprisingly extreme, draconian, and weird, even for him. Here’s a running list of his most unhinged plans.

    To your first question, yes. Obama did and there were protests and court rulings against it. A court order in 2015 limited child detention to 20 days and lead the Obama administration to change its ways. The Trump administration worked to undo that court order.

    And, yes, cages and camps still operate today, within that 20 day limitation.

    The Obama administration deported more people in its first term than the Trump administration did.

    When it comes to deportations the Trump administration, as with so many things, talked big, but was unable to effectively enact its stated goals.
