. . . Nobody cried because it was Obama. The only reason these mental patients are fighting federal law enforcement agents is because trump sent them. . . .
News reports from the time indicate that some people were literally crying.
>>>The parties activists organized to watch
President Barack Obama’s immigration speech were supposed to be festive affairs. . . . “
People are crying,” he told CNN in a phone interview from Chicago. “I can’t celebrate this, because there are a lot of people left out.”<<<

I'm not sure if mental patients have been fighting federal law enforcement, but there were plenty of protests against Obama's policies.
>>>More than a hundred demonstrators intentionally had themselves arrested outside the White House today in protest against the Obama administration's response to the sudden surge of undocumented
immigrants across the border with Mexico.<<<
Clergy and activists protested the deportation of undocumented immigrants.

I don't remember there being anywhere near the level of conflict under Obama as there is now. I tend to think that at least some of difference is related to differences in rhetoric and tactics.
It appears to me that Obama was more effective than Trump
>>>
Did Obama deport more people than Trump?
By annual comparisons, yes.
Obama had earned the critical reputation as "
deporter in chief," and Trump's first term lagged behind Obama in numbers.<<<
President Donald Trump has called on ICE to arrest more people, especially in Democratic cities. But he does not yet hold the title deporter in chief.

Perhaps Obama was a magician of sorts.
