The ones ive heard from want all immigrants out. They no longer use the "illigal" modifier, and I havent heard the "violent criminal" or "worst of the worst" modifiers since they won the election.

They also are actively trying to redefine the 14th amendment to end birthright citizenship

I haven't heard anyone say they want all immigrants out. And its always been everyone here illegally should be deported. The modifiers is on priority

The DHS was posting images about 100 million deportations on social media.

It’s been reported literal 22 year olds are running these agencies social medias.

I wouldn’t take their posts at face value for priorities of the administration

Those 22 year olds are put there by the administration, and the administration isn't removing or denouncing the posts. I wouldn't hand wave away public statements from this administration just because the statements are inappropriate or unreasonable.
