Possible good news on the immigration enforcement front

While he campaigned on prioritizing serious criminals for deportation, the focus on absolute numbers has meant the real priority became grabbing whomever is easiest to grab.

This seems like that could get reversed?

Adaptability is a good thing.

Some of course will say ‘who cares deport them all’ but our immigration courts only have so much capacity and they’re probably at most going to process 500-600k a year. So maybe he gets to deport 2 to 2.5MM in his term. Then it’s clear why prioritization matters and why they should target criminals and drug dealers rather than just raid every restaurant, farm, and car wash in America.

I have to agree with that.
