The Economist admits: President Trump is delivering the deportations he promised.

With the border shut, removal orders issued on 1.6m and status stripped from 1.7m, Trump is targeting aliens in the interior who have been in America for years — and arrests are soaring. Unlike Obama, who expanded protection and focused on recent border crossers. No other president, not even Eisenhower or Hoover, has done this level of revocation and removal in such a short period.
