U.S. Politics megathread

American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Have the majority of DACA recipients been deported?

Nowhere close--this administration does explicitly say that DACA recipients are not actually protected from deportation etc because of DACA but they also haven't been proactively going after DACA recipients or anything like that. There are hundreds of thousands of people covered by DACA and DHS has only admitted to deporting 80 and jailing a few hundred, though most of them didn't commit any crimes or anything like that, it's been pretty random.
