What Homan said is that they will play nice AFTER Minnesota surrenders.

Oh so like 1/4 of the ICE Gestapo is leaving.

Why isn't Trump serious about security in Minneapolis?

Trump is soft on immigration.

Why only 700?

@#2 ... Trump is soft on immigration. ...

It is beginning to look that way.

Pres Trump's ICE private militia seems to be attacking (and killing) American Citizens, and not going after the most violent illegal immigrants.

ICE is only following Pres Trump's orders.

So, several ICE officers for every criminal, undocumented that they continue to not be able to find, even when the DOC and sheriffs tell them to come pick them up. Keystone Kops.

@#5 ... So, several ICE officers for every criminal, undocumented that they continue to not be able to find ...

Instead, ICE seems to be trying to reach Stephen Miller's deportation quotas be going after immigrants who are acting and working within the law and even American citizens.

So much for the "only the violent" mantra.

Gotta meet Stephen Miller's quota.

@#5

That leads me to ask ...

Is it appropriate to give ICE a quota of the number of deportations they need to do per month, even if American citizens get caught up and killed in their actions.?

Or ---

Is it appropriate to tell ICE to track down and only deport the violent undocumented immigrants?

Unfortunately, from what I have seen, it is the former.
