people who actually needed to be deported

Do you mean extradited?

    No. Why would I mean extradited?

    He deported people who had illegally entered the country, people who were removable under U.S. immigration law because they had committed certain crimes in the United States, and, in some cases, people with criminal histories or warrants in other countries who were unlawfully present in the U.S.

    There may have been individual extradition cases during the Obama administration, but extradition is a separate legal process from deportation. It isn't really an immigration policy so much as a matter of international criminal justice and cooperation between governments.
