Operation Midway Blitz might be over. Next stop for CBP: Charlotte

Now some locals are doing the thing like happened in LA where they claim traffic is all of the sudden gone because the illegals aren’t on the road.  I was in it this morning and it was pretty terrible still.

Regarding the recent ICE operations.

Approximately 300 agents were used over 16 weeks. They arrested about 1800 people. This means each agent caught 1 person every 3 weeks. Considering ONLY their salaries (and not counting the other costs) it was $10,000 in federal taxes spent for each person captured.

If MAGA fans REALLY cared about deporting illegal immigrants, they'd be begging for Obama to come back. He deported more people at a far lower cost; and most actually had criminal records. Not the >3% ICE is getting now.

This administration is an absolute clown show.

How much are they offering people to self-deport?  $1k right?  Seems like they should bump it to $5-$10k and they’d probably have the same results, and also save on legal fees for deportation hearings.

*Border patrol.

They apparently just picked up some landscapers in my old neighborhood.

Except you're lying sweetheart. They didn't just "honk their horns". They stopped in the middle of the street blocking traffic and we're impeding an investigation. That's a crime darling.

Thank you ICE!

A lot of conversation around the number of students absent from school.  I’m sure the increase vs a normal day is driven by immigration enforcement, but I am curious how many of the actual children are illegal vs legal children of illegal parents.

Migrants thought they were in court for a routine hearing. Instead, it was a deportation trap

A Cuban man who had lived in the United States for years stepped from an elevator and into the courtroom where the government lawyer was waiting for what the man thought was a routine hearing.

The man was doing what the law required, and brought along his wife, a legal resident, and their 7-month-old infant.

Then the lawyer quickly moved to have the man’s asylum claim dismissed and a judge agreed, making the man eligible for “expedited removal.” As he left the courtroom, the man was swarmed by plainclothes immigration agents who had been surveilling him. A struggle ensued and the wife’s shouts could be heard from the hallway as the lawyer moved on to the next case.
