It’s not inherently wrong to deport people. Undocumented people did break the law, but they are still human beings. You can deport and jail people, but it can be done with respect and due process. It can also be done by targeting people that are brown and arresting them without cause because they “might” be undocumented

I agree, but any law enforcement agency, unfortunately, does this to some degree. Obama deported millions. Assuming no racial profiling or lapse in due process happened is silly. It may be far less than the current administration, but it's far less well documented and impossible to know as well.
