The very far left UK Guardian thinks this is horrible. That enforcing US federal law is bad
How Trump has supercharged the immigration crackdown – in data
In the six months since Donald Trump took office, the US president has supercharged the country’s immigration enforcement apparatus – pushing immigration officials to arrest a record number of people in June.
A Guardian analysis of arrest and deportation data has revealed that Trump is now overseeing a sweeping mass arrest and incarceration scheme.
By scheme they mean, that’s right, enforcing federal law as passed by duly elected members of Congress and signed into law by duly elected presidents.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agency does not publish daily arrest, detention and deportation data. But a team of lawyers and academics from the Deportation Data Project used a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to obtain a dataset that provides the most detailed picture yet of the US immigration enforcement and detention system under Trump.
A Guardian analysis of the dataset found:
- In June this year, average daily arrests were up 268% compared with June 2024. (who was president then?)
- Ice is increasingly targeting any and all unauthorized immigrants, including people who have no criminal records. (that’s their job, and crossing the border/overstaying a visa is a federal violation)
- Despite Trump’s claims that his administration is seeking out the “worst of the worst”, the majority of people being arrested by Ice now have no criminal convictions. (how many have felony charges pending? They don’t say)
- Detention facilities have been increasingly overcrowded, and the US system is over capacity by more than 13,500 people. (I the illegals do not like it they can self-deport themselves)
- The number of deportations, however, has fluctuated as the administration pursues new strategies and policies to swiftly expel people from the US. (Democrats keep fighting to keep murderers, rapists, child abusers, etc. here in the U.S.)
- The US government has deported more than 8,100 people to countries that are not their home country. (They could have returned to their own homes themselves)
I’m cheering. Are you cheering?
Arrests have especially ramped up in the southern and western states that have eagerly backed Trump’s immigration agenda, volunteering state resources and law enforcement personnel to work with federal officials seeking to detain immigrants.
You notice there is no caterwauling in the news about this? No riots and stuff? Heck, even in Dem NC cities like Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greensboro we don’t get this.
In legal filings following the LA raids, immigrants who were arrested said they were held in federal buildings without adequate access to water, food and medications. Family members and lawyers struggled to locate and contact people in Ice custody.
Which is funny, considering how often this was happening as Biden brought in scores of illegals/migrants/”refugees”, and few cared. If the illegals do not like it now, leave the U.S.
Oh, and then there’s this funny one
Trump’s Attack on Immigrants Is the Tip of the Spear for His Attack on Democracy
The attack on immigration is the tip of the spear for the attack on American democracy.
It’s an attack on all noncitizens (and even, sometimes, citizens), who now live with the very real threat of being snatched from their homes by masked agents of the state and prosecuted by lawyers who refuse to give their names. It’s an attack on rights of free speech and due process – neither of which have ever extended quite as far for noncitizens as they have for citizens, but both of which have historically offered at least some universal protection before this administration sought to dismiss them entirely.
It’s an attack on the U.S. citizens who love and support immigrants. Telling people what their rights are when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) comes to their door is portrayed as a criminal conspiracy to obstruct law enforcement. Protesting near an ICE operation merits arrest. Simply accompanying an immigrant to a court hearing where ICE sought to detain him (possibly so he could be deported without trial), and asking the arresting officers for a judicial warrant, merits arrest. Even asking a question of the Homeland Security secretary merits arrest. The fact that all of these sentences refer to things that have happened to elected government officials is not irrelevant – it sends a message to everyone less powerful that they are not safe either.
Got that? Following federal law is an attack on democracy. These people are batguano insane.
