Supporters of President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda are increasingly questioning whether his administration is on pace to meet its signature immigration promise after a conservative watchdog filed a lawsuit seeking records it says could reveal discrepancies in the government's deportation figures.
The lawsuit, brought by the Oversight Project, marks an unusual challenge from within the president's own political coalition. The organization, which has consistently advocated for stricter immigration enforcement and supports large-scale deportations, alleges that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has failed to comply with multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking updated removal data.
