You mean that extremely misleading claim?

But the portrait of a steadily increasing number of deportations rests on statistics that conceal almost as much as they disclose. A closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office, according to immigration data.
Expulsions of people who are settled and working in the United States have fallen steadily since his first year in office, and are down more than 40% since 2009.
On the other side of the ledger, the number of people deported at or near the border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's deportation statistics.
The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations. If all removals were tallied, the total sent back to Mexico each year would have been far higher under those previous administrations than it is now.

Which has been shown to be a lie on this very forum.

This smacks of leftists' "record profits" arguments used against companies to exert government control. Profit margin ignored, of course.

did they change the way deportations are counted? Or is it being counted the same way it has for a few decades prior to Obama?

We learned long ago that those deportation numbers were fudged. You can give it up now.
