308 down…

I'd love to see the search warrant for the lawyer raid.

[jon-nyc]

It makes me wonder if the lawyer is also a drug dealer or something.

[jon-nyc]

Lot of comments from midwits suggesting local immigration attorneys to raid.

What are these people thinking? Illegals stop by a lawyers office to register their name, address, and serial number?

They go to file a legal claim of some sort, be it asylum, marriage to a citizen, etc. And you know what that involves? The lawyer filling out forms with their info and sending them to the USCIS.

What info does an immigration attorney have about an asylum applicant that the feds don’t? A credit card number maybe?

Cuomo made quite a right turn, huh? In his CNN days he wouldn't be caught dead talking respectfully to a Trump official.

Follow the money, not the "ethics."

The DEA is getting in on the action…

Several dozen of those arrested were part of that gang taking over apartment buildings in Aurora, CO.

And...Trump’s approval rating went up 5 points last week...

Are all of these criminals? Have they been tried, sentenced?

554 Detainers lodged? WTF does that even mean?

No clue.

[Horace]

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement works closely with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to protect the public from national security, public safety and border security threats.

In some cases, that means ICE’s federal law enforcement officers lodge immigration detainers against potentially dangerous aliens who have been arrested by another law enforcement agency or are removable from the United States.

[jon-nyc]

Ah, ok. Calling Federal dibs on someone already arrested.

Biden is conspicuously absent from this list but the numbers are surprising all the same.

[jon-nyc]

That was 1100 a day under Obama. Almost double the amount of TFM’s first term.

[Jolly]

Out of how many people that needed deporting?

[jon-nyc]

It varied but was never below 10MM in his tenure. Bush had similar numbers with far fewer illegals.

Interesting to see the history. Basically bloomed under Clinton and Bush and went down, but not as fast, under Obama and Trump. Both got an assist from economic crises.

[Jolly]

IIRC, Eisenhower brought in a general to address deportations and border control...

[George K]

Somewhere I read that Biden counted anyone turned away at the border as "deportation."

[LuFins Dad]

That’s the context missing here, how many weren’t deported, simply not allowed entry?
