The article doesn't say Trump intends to A) revoke TPS from 300,000 people, or at least B) the 60,000 whose status is currently up for review. It doesn't even claim C) that Trump is intending to use deportation on these people once their status is changed, which is important because we have >10 M people already here illegally not being deported year after year. Even if Trump failed to renew TPS for the upcoming 60,000 it would just increase the number of "not here legally and not yet deported" people by less than 1%. It wouldn't even increase total deportations (which are down under Trump vs Obama's last year) because we're already maxed out on our ICE removal capacity, which Trump has done nothing to increase legislatively.

Every part of the headline is wrong. He hasn't even announced the change of status yet, much less that there are any plans to deport them after that change.
