> He is calling for the deportation of illegal immigrants who sleep in parks.

No, that's what this article is calling for. The complain they have is that DHH called for deporting the entire ethnic group independent of whether they're sleeping in parks.

DHH's blog post reads:

>> When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them.

Looks like some of the controversy is whether "them" refers to "the gypsies" or "the gypsies who take over public spaces".

It sounds genuinely ambiguous to me. Example A) "When wolves eat too many sheep, you shoot them." seems to advocate for shooting all wolves. Example B) "When adults abuse minors, you imprison them." presumably only refers to those that abuse minors.
