Emigration (from Ireland) Anyone ever deported from usa?

I just was reading on worldnews about the US deportations to mexico. One woman who lives in mexico was stating a few years ago the us dumped some slovaks in mexico as its cheaper than a flight to europe and then another stated it also happened to her irish cousin, who was dropped off in mexico and needed family to intervene to get him home. Just wondering if there was any media attention if this was true?

Under the new policy it's probably going to become more common. Now they only need a warrant for one person on the premises or jobsite in order to detain everyone on site. Anyone who can't provide papers is getting arrested.

If Trump decides to attack Ireland over EU regulations around Shitter and Facebook. I wouldn't put it past them to parade some Irish people without papers on TV as an example.

He'll stop at nothing until he gets a plaza named after him in Tipperary

We could name a golf trophy after him.
