Is "4 million deported" the next "repeat it until they believe it" lie?
Tim Kaine just said on FOX Sunday morning talk show (Shannon Bream) that 4 MILLION have been deported under Biden/Harris.
"What?"
Searched for sauce for the above claim and found Wikipedia also citing wild numbers without any sauce:
"In Obama's first three years in office, around 1.18 million people were deported, while around 800,000 deportations took place under Trump in his three years of presidency.[21] In the final year of his presidency Trump deported an additional 186,000 immigrants, bringing his total to just under 1 million for his full presidency.[22]
"Since Biden has taken over office, these numbers have increased drastically. During the course of the 24 months of the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years, the DHS documented 1.4 million arrests under Trump. On the other hand, in less than 26 months, the Biden administration's DHS has made over 5 million arrests. Furthermore, the Biden administration has deported the majority of individuals apprehended, but the Trump administration deported a minority of them."

Not only are "arrests" interchanged with "apprehended" - a distinction that may or may not have a difference - but that would support (a claim with no citation to a source), Kaines' claim today that 4 million were deported under Biden/Harris.
Is this the new fake news talking point?
And is going to have to be corrected/ downsized substantially like the fake jobs numbers - but only after the election?
