  • The Economist

  • Hello, and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.

  • I'm Rosie Blau.

  • And I'm Jason Palmer.

  • Today on the show, has Reddit had it in the age of AI?

  • And the Bayeux Tapestry conquers Britain.

  • First up, though,

  • Donald Trump has been talking about how he'd deal with illegal immigrants

  • since long before he was elected for a second term.

  • "The Republican platform promises to launch the largest deportation operation in the history of our country."

  • And he certainly followed through on that promise.

  • "You're arresting, he's a true American hero!"

  • "Off the street!"

  • "Back it up!"

  • Openly on the streets of Minneapolis, Chicago, and elsewhere, and in recent months, much more quietly.

  • But is a policy that helped elect Trump as president now taking a political toll?

  • Barack Obama, a Democrat, was known as a deporter-in-chief.

  • He removed something like 430,000 people in 2013.

  • Aryn Braun is our West Coast correspondent.

  • And he did that by focusing on recent border crossers and people in jails and prisons.
