In his morning video on Sunday, DMLNewsApp founder and podcast host Dennis Michael Lynch expounded on a recent report by the New York Post, which draws a stark comparison to how ICE operates under President Donald Trump, compared to the Obama administration.
The Post quotes a liberal reporter who recently claimed that “Thirty-two people died in ICE custody last year and 170 US citizens were detained by ICE.”
The New York Post then counters the deceptive claims by laying out the facts:
- Between the president’s Jan. 20, 2025, inauguration and the end of November, Trump’s administration arrested an extraordinary total of 595,000 illegal aliens and deported 605,000.
- The 170 US citizens detained by ICE included about 130 arrested for interfering with or assaulting officers, with is completely justifiable.
- Only about 40 or so of those who were detained claimed to be US citizens accidentally or erroneously arrested by ICE, and just half of those people were held for more than a day; most were released in a few hours.
- 40 mistakes out of 595,000 arrests amounts to an error rate of just 0.0067% — roughly one wrongful detention for every 14,925 arrests.
The New York Post then provided numbers from the final two years of president Barack Obama’s administration.
- In fiscal years 2015 and 2016, ICE recorded 263 mistaken arrests, 54 mistaken detentions (book-ins), and four mistaken removals.
- During those two years, ICE made a mere 239,645 arrests, meaning the 54 mistaken detentions alone produced an Obama error rate of 0.0225% — about one mistake for every 4,444 arrests.
- Overall, the error rate under Obama was 3.36 times higher than under Trump.
In regard to the deaths of people in ICE custody, the New York Post drew the following comparisons:
- Trump administration – 32 alleged deaths last year – amounts to one death for every 18,594 detainees, or a rate of 0.0054%.
- Obama administration – 56 alleged deaths during his two terms in office – amounts to one death for every 14,314 detainees, or a rate of 0.007%.
Mistaken deportations:
- The Trump administration has deported NO American citizens.
- Obama deported two US citizens in fiscal year 2015, and two more in fiscal year 2016.

The liberal media loves to paint false and/ or misleading stories about Trump, ICE & DHS. A Ny Post report shows Trump’s ICE vs Obama’s. It’s a joke. Trump crushes it when compared to Obama’s mistakes & deaths. I provide the reported numbers: pic.twitter.com/Ps0FuSmI66
