During their best week they managed to deport 600 people in one week.
At that rate, they can't deport more than Obama.
The longer they go the harder it gets to find the people they look for.
The judicial system will add to their grievances as you mentioned.
This is not a police state yet*

All Trump wants is theater, not actual deporting of dreamers, so don't panic.
I agree with you on a lot of points, but the number of people deported or removed is off. Most deportations do not make the news, like they just did. Obama in 2013 was averaging about 8.5K removals a week in 2013, and was down to about 4K a week last year. Removals include people turned away at the border and deported.
Trump can ramp up his numbers, but it would not be Dreamers, it would be people arriving now and claiming asylum ( who would be removed at the border ) . People who have felonies that are using asylum to stay. People with felonies that Obama chose not to deport. That is the low hanging fruit, not dreamers.
Some of his other stuff like adding 10,000 new agents in the next two years is impossible. It will take years to hire, vet and train that many people and even with a budget. Building the wall is stupid and the CBP does not want a wall because they cannot see the other side.
