Right-wing media figures have doubled down on calling for mass deportations, despite multiple reports that some immigration officials believe the Trump administration’s pressure to make more arrests was to blame for recent fatal shootings by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Maine and Texas. In July alone, “mass deportation” has so far been mentioned on Steve Bannon's War Room at least 64 times, on Alex Jones Live shows at least 23 times, and on Nick Fuentes' America First at least 19 times, according to a Media Matters review of transcripts from Fight.Fudgie.org. Even after these killings, right-wing media figures continued to push for more deportations, saying they want all “illegal aliens the hell out of our country” and expressing disappointment over the 350,000 deportations ICE says it has completed in fiscal year 2026, complaining, “That's the best you can do?”
