I was surprised by this "good news" story about Hispanic gang members 
getting honest jobs after deportation to Mexico.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93g2e332d9o

I was struck by how these career gang-bangers got honest jobs rather 
than simply resuming their gang life within Mexico. I had assumed they'd 
make contact with the local cartel and sign up for whatever dirty 
business they were doing.

I also found it very unexpected that a legacy media outlet actually 
reported on this since it is, in effect, positive about the 
deportations. Legacy media has taken a consistent line about being 
openly hostile to everything Trump does or attempts, particularly 
deportations. Of course the BBC is British, not American, so that may 
account for it but I haven't noticed any hostility in the BBC to 
Britain's own migrant crisis so I assumed they'd at least be neutral to 
the American deportations if not actively opposed.
