Claim:
During the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama, immigration authorities deported more than 3 million people, 75% to 83% of whom did not see a judge or have the opportunity to plead their case.

 Rating:
Mostly True

According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data from fiscal years 2009 to 2016, more than 3 million individuals were formally removed from the country during the Obama administration. Annually, between 58% and 84% of these removals were so-called "summary removals" carried out through legal procedures such as "expedited removal" and "reinstatement of removal," which do not involve a hearing before an immigration judge. On average, about 74% of removals during this period fell into these categories.

 Did you know? Under Obama, over 3 million people were deported—but 75–83% never saw a judge or had a chance to plead their case.Most were removed through expedited processes at the border—no court hearing, no trial. And this isn't unique to Obama. Under Clinton and Bush, millions were also deported without judicial oversight.Due process? Apparently, only if a republican or Donald Trump is in charge! 

 So, I ask you—where was all the outrage then? Where were the protests against Obama, Clinton, or Bush? This has been standard practice under many presidents before Trump. No president in U.S. history has ever been required to get permission from the courts—or from anyone else—to defend the sovereignty of their own borders. 

Yes, US deported more than 3M people during Obama presidency — most without chance to plead case in court
