Before June, the administration struggled to boost deportation numbers, averaging under five flights daily. In June, the average rose to seven flights per day, highlighting the shift in deportation strategy. Thomas Cartwright has effectively documented these changes, providing data that U.S. authorities do not publicly disclose, emphasizing a trend of intensified anti-immigrant policies.
