Summary
Despite aggressive immigration enforcement efforts, ICE is failing to meet Trump’s mass deportation targets. Initial goals of 1,200–1,500 arrests per day have dropped to fewer than 600.
Resource constraints and exhausted officers have slowed operations, leading to the reassignment of ICE’s top two enforcement officials.
The White House is frustrated by detainees being released due to legal, medical, or logistical issues.
To boost arrests, agents from other federal agencies have been enlisted, and Republicans are pushing for more ICE funding to increase staffing.
Has ICE considered just lying about their numbers? It’s not like anything this administration is doing has any basis in reality anyway.
Or even better … they are fudging their numbers but still can’t raise their stats high enough
They almost certainly are.
Gop? Lying? Just out in the open? So blatantly? No! Say it ain’t so!
They’ll just start deporting random Americans to random countries.
That sounds like a lottery, and some people might be sent to a Scandinavian country, basically winning the lottery.
My great-great-great grandfather came over from Germany in 1870. I’m not sure he did it legally so I volunteer to go back
If I was working for Trump I would be lying my ass off while looking for another job. However it could be argued that staying and lying to him might be good for America.
