"ICE is not the problem, it's Joe Biden's open borders that caused this!"
Biden deported 1.1 million people. (and turned away 3 million during Covid.)
Obama deported 3.1 million.
Without any need for ICE to lose their shit.
This has nothing to do with deportation and everything to do with obedience.

My dad was in immigration enforcement before ICE. Farmers would pay workers on Friday for a week's work. Many farmers would call Border Patrol or INS on Thursday night or Friday morning so they could stiff the workers on payment.

Minneapolis is at the center of sweeping, evolving federal immigration push. It demonstrates how different immigration enforcement is under Trump's second administration - and raises questions about the lingering effects on local communities and law enforcement. n.pr/49XHQsN
Events in Minneapolis show how immigration enforcement has changed. What's the impact?

The VP of Venezuela is now running the country with literally a gun pointed to her head by Trump’s military. That is how Trump will “run” Venezuela
KEY FACT: Trump doesn't want to bring freedom/democracy to Venezuela--he just wants a leader who will ensure Trump's oil oligarchs can make $. That's why Trump choose as new leader Delcy Rodríguez--Maduro's VP who helped Maduro oppress the people--over pro-democracy activist Maria Corina Machado.
