WATCH: Speaker Mike Johnson Capitulates on Mass Deportations, Says “Course Correction” Needed Going into Midterms After “Overzealous” Immigration Enforcement as White House Tells GOP to Avoid Running on Mass Deportations

Trump and Republicans ran on the promise of “the largest deportation in the history of our country,” with Trump saying he hoped to send “nearly 20 million” back to their home countries.
But since two left-wing radicals attacked ICE agents and got shot, the GOP’s tune on immigration crackdowns has changed.
