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.

    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 problem is they’re looking to enforce these policies and only hurt the blue states. Notably NYC where they just wiped their asses with the constitution so they can have the federally indicted mayor under their control. Case was dismissed without prejudice so the if the Mayor doesn’t destroy people’s lives, they can bring back the case. All so they can have video (probably hosted be “doctor” Phil) of people’s lives being destroyed to satiate their hateful audiences.

        If the red states don’t feel any consequences, this won’t end. They won’t have any empathy for people elsewhere.

          My point is, if you are suffering, and watching your neighbors and friends suffer, do not wish that suffering on the people who arent your neighbors and friends just because of the consequence of proximity.

          Its very human to make the easy assessment of “the other” and what they think, feel, and deserve. They are faceless and far away. Who cares? But… The OP was literally wishing ill on immigrant families to hurt their own opponent. Using immigrants as pawns to justify their opinion and position. Using people to hurt other people. Sound familiar yet?

          Fuck that opinion. I will not abide.
