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.
Maybe cause the “crisis” was over inflated to begin with? Also cause people generally don’t like this idea in practice.
I remember seeing recently that they found 3 of the names who got sent to Guantanamo. 2 of the families they found and asked and both said they presented papers from their embassy showing their family members weren’t criminals.
The number of people who are going to be sent to fill quotas over actually having ever done something horrible is going to be staggering
Sooooo just like the regular US Prison system.
Don’t you love it for your lunch break in the local quick serving restaurant to be interrupted by armed men yelling at everyone and then you get to go back to work distressed and hungry?
