It's been pretty linear since the 90's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_detention_in_the_U...

Are the deaths of child detainees linear? Are the days children spend in detention linear? Are the separations from parents linear? Is the explicit targeting of long-time residents with no criminal history linear?

Why is it important for you to dismiss changes that the current administration explicitly campaigned to enact, and that is clearly manifest? Does it make you feel better about not trying to change anything for the better?

I'm not dismissing anything, I think you made a lot of assumptions based on me dropping a link. The post I responded to indicated that this issue has gotten much worse with the current administration, which isn't true. I think if we're going to fix the issue, we need to be honest about the issue.
