The Trump administration is accused of prioritizing speed and volume in deportations over focusing on hardened criminals.
Instances of wrongful deportations, including a man sent to a Salvadorian prison due to an administrative error and another based on a Photoshopped tattoo, were highlighted.
Oliver criticized the use of fearmongering tactics and the disregard for due process in immigration enforcement.
During his show, Oliver showed a White House Instagram post featuring shackled people being led onto a plane with Semisonic’s "Closing Time" playing. Oliver sarcastically suggested better song choices.
He also scrutinized the case of Kilmar Ábrego García, who was deported to El Salvador due to an “administrative error” despite having a court order protecting him from deportation. Trump officials then posted a doctored image attempting to link him to MS-13. Oliver mocked the attempt to claim the superimposed tattoo was real, suggesting the interviewer should not have moved on so quickly.
Oliver also mentioned Suguru Onda, a PhD student nearly deported for minor infractions. He also criticized ICE’s increased arrest quotas and the deportation of a child with cancer without medication.
