The comparison of Obama deportations with Trump is sort of apples to oranges. The majority of Obama deportations were recent illegal border crossings. Now border crossings are virtually shutdown. However I hardly buy Noem's claim that most of the ICE roundups are convicted dangerous criminals. They are basically grabbing people off the streets. Since Noem won't release much information, the real figures are unknown. Today's news featured an off duty Minneapolis cop of color who was stopped and asked for her papers. ICE is targeting people of color or accent demanding "papers". It reminisces of other historic events where government goons randomly stopped people demanding their papers and hauling people off to the unknown.

BTW, Carney's speech at Davos is worth a read. He basically was asking countries to stand up to bullying, no names mentioned (ha). He said something like you can eith sit at the table, or be on the menu. It got a standing ovation.
