This is an IHeart podcast.

Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Gurdowski.

Thank you guys for being here again this Monday.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

So I have some data for you all.

And then I have a good piece of DC gossip that you're not going to want to miss at the end of the show.

Okay, first on the data.

Is Trump's mass deportations working?

Well, there's two stories telling conflicting narratives.

The first, a story emerged that the administration is not committed to hitting their

3,000 deportations a day that was rumored a few months ago.

Politico broke a story that ICE never had a firm

commitment on the 3,000 number that allegedly Stephen Miller wanted. Now, this number is

very high, right? It's very hard to get to because you have to find these people, have to go

through the court system. There's a legal back and forth. Judges won't release them.

Activists get in the way. It's a whole process. But there's also a significant amount of people who

have self-deported. People who basically said, I don't want to live in fear of being arrested,

so I'm just going to leave the country on my own. Now, every news outlet, every mainstream news outlet

in the country has had some kind of

weepy story of an illegal alien who knowingly broke the law, came to United States, and now

has to deal the repercussions just the way that every kind of American citizen would if they,

you know, speed, blow a stop sign, rob a bank, whatever.
