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.
You know, normal, thoughtful, people would take that as a cue to re-evaluate their position… Maybe it’s difficult to find them because they don’t fucking exist?
They are a scape goat. It doesn’t matter if they exist or not if they can sell the narrative.
Crime could be at record lows but they’ll say “Crime is so high, we need to send in police until crime comes down.”
They know full well it’s a lie, but they know enough people won’t double check them and take them at their word. In their minds crime is at an all time high instead.
I commented the gun numbers the other day. Its fairly obvious that red states have much more violent crime when it comes to guns. Surely their propoganda doesn’t have anything to do with it.
