Yet deportations, often seen as a bellwether of immigration enforcement, are still not at the peak reached during the Obama administration -- even in the wake of President Donald Trump's zero-tolerance policy on illegal entry.Chaos has overwhelmed U.S. immigration policy in 2018, ending the year with a government shutdown over funding for a border wall.
