The new Democrat Congress had not even been sworn in before the Trump war room delivered its answer. Four words, posted for the whole country to read: deportations will continue.That is not a negotiating position. It is a statement of operations. ICE arrests, workplace enforcement and removals are federal executive work, and none of it required a single vote from the incoming majority.Democrats campaigned on stopping the deportation machine and spent years calling it cruel. They now hold the gavels, and the machine they promised to shut down is still running on the authority of the President they failed to beat.The removals roll on. The wall of campaign promises ran into the wall of executive power, and executive power did not move.
