Donald Trump Tells ICE Agents To Target Democratic Strongholds

Apparently, "provoking" = "concentrating law enforcement efforts in places where local cooperation is non-existent."

It's clearly political. Whether a jurisdiction cooperates doesn't change the fact there are illegal migrants in Texas and Florida.

The reason Trump isn't picking them up off the streets in those two states is obviously tied to being Trump supporting states.

Some of the largest concentration of undocumented immigrants in the US are TX and Florida…

🤷‍♀️

I must have missed where they were included in his post…can you share that part?

Yeah, because Texas borders on Mexico, duh!

And yet, Dear Leader isn’t targeting any massive ICE operations there.

Smart guy that one 🙄

Texas is pretty well covered.

Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 531,100 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 50,600 criminal arrests, with more than 43,400 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 624 million lethal doses of fentanyl—enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the United States, Mexico, and Canada combined during this border mission.

DO you understand, even conceptually, that greater resources are needed to combat a problem in an area where local cooperation is nil than in places where local coperation in greater?

If there is no due process and legal protections to verify people are truly undocumented immigrants before arrest, then kidnapping is the correct word. However, you can go with absconding, abduction, snatching, or waylaying.

Then why are you bitching about it only now? Nothing has changed in the way of removal operations for twenty years. Why are your panties in a knot only now?

Show me where people were being sent to foreign concentration camps and not being put in front of judges more than a few months ago.
 
WHERE ARE OUR MINISTERS, PASTORS AND CHURCHES??????????

What I understand is that it's not an either/or proposition. Trump doesn't care about resources.

Local law enforcement cannot pull people off the streets. It can only turn people over who have committed a crime.

And in some jurisdictions, they won't even do that. More federal resources should be put in those areas because of local intransigence. I don't know why this is mysterious or controversial.

Donald Trump tells ICE agents to target Democratic strongholds

Trump has called on ICE to expand operations in cities, "such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York."

Some observations:

1) The above shows that Trump's deportation obsession is based on bigotry and politics rather than any allegiance to "law and order".

2) Trump government agencies are transferring personal data from Medicaid to ICE. This seems to violate US patient privacy and HIPPAA laws.

3) Trump seems to believe that his Truth Social posts are tantamont to dictatorial decrees.

This begs the question, should the military be involved in Trump's political gambit?

Because it doesn't make sense?

Police CANNOT pull people off the streets. Whether a jurisdiction cooperates does not change this.

So, why is ICE pulling people off the streets in CA but not in TX? "Resources" doesn't answer that question.

What doesn't make sense about the fact that local help means fewer resources needed from the federal agency?

ICE can get information from local jails when aliens are booked and collect them directly from local custody. Jurisdictions that refuse to disclose such information will see people picked up at other locations. Like "the street."

Exactly. Think about this, and then you'll get it.

Local police CANNOT pull people off the street. They can only report those who have been arrested.

So, why is ICE pulling people off the streets in CA but not TX?

The answer is politics. Trump has told us as much. If you can't see the politics, especially after Trump's first term, then I can't help you.

AND SOME LOCAL JURISDICTIONS REFUSE TO REPORT ALIENS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

When local jurisdictions in California refuse to report aliens taken into custody, WHERE DO YOU THINK THE FEDS ARE GOING TO GO GET THEM?

WTF are you not getting about this?

The greater resources should be allocated to the locations where they'll make the biggest impact. ICE has not been working in concert with local authorities in 2025, so why would they require it now? And so much so that they have to pump extra resources into those areas?

Your claim is nonsensical. Spending large amounts of resources for lesser results makes no sense. Go after the "illegals" where they're in the largest concentrations.

Trump is a lying child rapist who deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison and an eternity in an unmarked grave that is inaccessible to his family. He needs to be destroyed and forgotten. His wealth needs to be taken from him. This will be a lesson to the other rich pricks out there. FA/FO.
