When Republicans refer to "criminal illegal aliens," they mean everyone who is here on an asylum claim is a criminal. Latino voters who flipped to Trump in 2024 didn't quite get that. They do now. Also, many of the “criminal records” are for things like driving with no license & other misdemeanors.

On both the Renee Good and Alex Pretti situations: If the federal agents ever had to go under oath in front of jury questioned by a real lawyers about what they did they would get absolutely destroyed. They are only getting away with this because the govt won’t allow that.
