In FY2010, deportations fell still further—to a growth of only 0.8%.
In the first seven months of FY2011 (October 2010 through April 2011), deportations are running at 0.8% below the same period of last year.
As things stand now, FY2011 is on course to be the first since FY2002 in which deportations will decline.

To be true to the numbers, deportations under Obama *have* continued to increase.
A decrease in *growth* is not the same thing as a decrease in actual deportations. A little bit of your own spin in there.
