This is neither Genocide nor Ethnic Cleansing.

Just the 1st, simplest definition of Ethnic Cleansing in search results: the mass expulsion or killing of members of one ethnic or religious group in an area by those of another.

I should remind DU that the Biden Administration deported 271,000 people in 2024. Obama's Administration regularly deported over 300,000 a year. Deportations are normal. Deportations are not Ethnic Cleansing.

What's different now is the belligerance, the militarization, and racial profiling.
