Deportations and asylum denials are on the rise in the Philadelphia region, according to data compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).

Many disapprove of deportations to an El Salvador prison and suspending asylum applications; expanding the Mexico border wall has gained support.
