Except there was nothing keeping him from deporting gang members before.
"Mass deportation" sounds to me like they will be deporting people whether they are in a gang or not. This is just rife for abuse.
Yes there were democrats blocking every deportation they can any way they can. Keep those rapists child molesters gang members killers, drunk drivers, trafickers in the country at all costs to be counted in the next census.
Reliably Democratic states are experiencing significant population losses, largely driven by
net domestic migration to Republican-led, Southern, and Western states, threatening their congressional representation. Key states like California face steep declines, with projections suggesting major losses in seats and political influence by 2030 due to this shift.
Here are key details regarding population shifts from Democratic-leaning states:
Key Trends and Data
- Primary Destination: Population is shifting heavily to the South and areas controlled by Republicans, such as Texas and Florida.
- California's Decline: California lost over 229,000 people to net domestic migration between July 2024 and July 2025 alone, with top destinations being Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington, according to abc30.com.
- Congressional Impact: Projections suggest Democratic-leaning states could lose as many as 12 seats in the next census, while GOP strongholds are not projected to lose seats, Spectrum News notes.
- Future Projections: California alone could potentially lose up to four congressional seats by 2030 if current trends hold, abc30.com reports.
- Causes: Factors include domestic migration, birth rate declines, and reduced immigration levels, abc30.com explains.
Cervas’ model predicts that two of the largest states will continue to see their representation in the U.S. House increase: Florida and Texas are each projected to gain four seats. This would bring Florida’s number of House seats up to 32 from 28, and give Texas 42 seats, an increase from 38.
Since both states have backed the Republican candidate in the most recent presidential elections, the projected population figures would yield eight additional Electoral College votes for the GOP beginning in the 2032 election.
Five additional states would see their representation in the U.S. House increase by one seat: Arizona’s number of House seats would rise from nine to 10, Georgia would gain a 15th seat, Idaho’s congressional delegation would increase from two to three seats, North Carolina would have 15 seats, an increase from 14, and Utah’s representation in the House will grow from four to five seats.
Idaho and Utah are reliably Republican in presidential elections, and their increased representation in the Electoral College means that GOP presidential candidates will have two additional Electoral College votes to count on. Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina were all swing states in the 2024 presidential election, meaning that their three extra Electoral College votes will be sought after by both political parties beginning in 2032.

Meanwhile, California would lose four seats in the U.S. House, bringing its delegation down from 52 to 48. Another large state in the U.S., New York, would lose two seats in the U.S. House, bringing its total down from 26 to 24.
Illinois would also lose seats, with its congressional delegation projected to shrink from 17 to 15. Both Minnesota and Wisconsin would lose a seat, with their congressional representation dropping from eight to seven.
Rhode Island would also lose a seat, bringing its total down to just one. Oregon would also see its number of seats in the U.S. House decrease, from six to five. Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation would fall to 16 seats from 17.
Two of the states projected to lose seats, Pennsylvania and Michigan, are swing states in presidential elections, while the remainder have voted for Democratic candidates in the last three presidential elections.
Based on the most recent projections, Democrats will start off with 11 fewer Electoral College votes, Republicans will start off with 10 more Electoral College votes and the swing states will be worth one more electoral vote come 2032.
If the projected map were in place for the 2024 presidential election, President Donald Trump would have received 324 electoral votes instead of 313, while Democrat Kamala Harris would have won 214 electoral votes rather than 225.
