Summary
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, admitted that finding undocumented immigrants with criminal records has been difficult, requiring full ICE teams for field raids.
Arrest numbers, around 14,000 in Trump’s first month, are below the administration’s 1,500-per-day goal.
Homan blamed sanctuary cities for not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. He vowed to increase enforcement teams and denied mass school or church raids, though ICE may target specific criminals.
The administration has stopped publishing daily arrest figures, despite a drop in immigration arrests since November.
Wow, they are so close to figuring it out!
Maybe immigration, outside of the Faux Cinematic Universe, was not some major concern?
The GOP spent so many decades carefully manufacturing their lines of bullshit and now Trump is coming along trying to fix their fake problems lmao
It’s almost like it was a completely manufactured issue… Fancy that.
The reason sanctuary cities exist is because law enforcement in those cities needs community buy-in to help solve other more important crimes. A witness to a murder or a victim of domestic violence might not come forward if they are undocumented and might get deported for talking to the police.
No way to really track it because by definition they’re going unreported but I can only imagine what kind of horror show is going unreported due to these raids.
The sanctuary cities are gathering and collection points. If I was an illegal immigrant, I would work in the red run welfare counties for a MAGAt farmer.
Yeah the problem there is you’re gonna get horrific working conditions and if you try to speak up about it they’ll call ICE on you and get another immigrant to replace you.
What a colossal waste of resources.
The fucking cry baby should raid the farms in the rural red run welfare counties. I do not give a shit if the ICE agent is not vaccinated for the measles, send their asses.
Maybe he should give up and quit this farce completely. Instead of what you suggested.
Because what you suggested just hurts more innocent people so that you can feel smug and point and say “i told you so”.
We get it. some dumbasses voted against their communities and their own self interests. Im fighting this battle every day with so many people. But why on earth would you advocate that more people get caught up and hurt by these policies? Because they “deserve it”?
We are supposed to be better than that. We are supposed to make the world better. Not be vindictive assholes about it.
-sincerely, a farmer from a rural red run welfare county.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. The red voters had their chance, failed to learn and the USA is being torn apart by a bunch of lunatics.
Weaponizing immigrant lives to hurt others is literally the signature move of the trump supporters you despise.
And you advocate for exactly that. Disgusting.
You are the same sort of person as them. You just wear a different colored hat.
They keep finding brown citizens instead.
Which is the point.
