✅ Yes, the content that former President Trump claims to deport "only the worst of the worst" but government data reveals broader deportation practices seems to be supported by multiple sources.

These include:

1. American Immigration Council's report on the Trump administration's immigration policies, which details significant and broad changes to U.S. immigration enforcement, including mass deportations that go beyond targeting only serious criminals. This report highlights aggressive removal efforts and exceptions in refugee policies, suggesting a broader reality behind deportation practices than Trump's assertion.

2. The New York City Bar Association’s detailed report on the Trump administration's 2025 immigration law changes shows aggressive and expansive steps towards removal of noncitizens, including pressuring localities, limiting humanitarian relief, and closing borders, which again supports the notion that deportation efforts are broad rather than narrowly targeted only at severe criminals.

3. PolitiFact analyzed Trump's immigration crackdown during his terms and pointed out that Trump used rhetoric about an "invasion" leading to mass deportations that were broader than just "the worst of the worst," with policies reflecting a large-scale deportation effort rather than a narrowly focused one.

These authoritative sources show that while Trump stated an intent to focus deportations on "the worst of the worst," official data and expert analysis reveal broader deportation practices encompassing many noncitizens beyond just serious criminals.
