Two-thirds of the three million illegals deported under Obama did not have criminal records.

No one protested.

CNN even rode along on an ICE operation in 2015.

Under Trump, ICE is currently targeting illegals convicted of felonies ranging from child rape to homicide.

At his press conference yesterday, USBP Commander Bovino explained what ICE is doing in Minneapolis.

More than 10,000 criminal illegal aliens apprehended in Minnesota over the past year. 3,000 over the past six weeks in Minneapolis.

"These are individuals responsible for serious harm."

"Murderers, rapists, gang members."

Notice something different about the ICE operations in the CNN video? Notably, clearly identified and no masks. It was a different era of professionalism.


It’s just a natural response to protect individuals from ‘the violence from the left’. You think there won’t be some ‘peaceful protesters’ that will burn an ICE agent’s house down if given the opportunity?

It’s not cut and dried. Judge’s are at similar risk, but their names are known. Same with politicians. Even DA’s.


There is already a list of all confirmed ICE agents online. If somebody wanted to burn ICE agents houses, it is already easy.

All masks do, is make it impossible to know which agent or even which department engaged in improper activity.

There is a reason it is standard for police to identify with title, name, and badge number when requested.

Trump probably could have gotten some PERMANENT immigration legislation passed with a rightwing bent at the beginning of his term. Instead he squandered it on this quasi-police state action that has no permanency.

Presidents have been trying to get immigration reform passed since at least the terms of W. Too many right wingers opposed.

Why did they oppose reform, given Trump's success?

Oh wait...the republicans of today are not the republicans of back then, they're RINO.

“immigration officers in that state, finding that federal agents do not have sufficient evidence that protesters assaulted officers or committed other crimes, according to two people briefed on the discussions.

In these sealed court proceedings, magistrate judges in the federal court in Minnesota have been deluged with requests from federal prosecutors to arrest and criminally charge protesters. The rise in requests comes amid increasing clashes between protesters and ICE forces after a surge of federal officers arriving in the state and in the wake of an ICE officer fatally shooting protester Renee Good on Jan. 7.

But some have fared poorly in establishing evidence of crime, said the people, who asked to speak confidentially about sensitive court proceedings.
It is exceedingly rare for judges to turn down investigators’ requests for search and arrest warrants or criminal complaints as the standard of evidence required is so low; a federal agent or officer providing an account of events need only show a fair probability that the suspect engaged in the crime for an arrest warrant.

This spate of rejections in Minnesota would normally cause embarrassment for the U.S Attorney’s office that submits the requests. But the Minnesota office has been in turmoil since the Justice Department’s decision to not investigate the officer who killed Good, which led to six senior prosecutors resigning and more departures are expected. ”


Worrying about production of proper evidence hasn’t been a strong point of the whole Trump administration. Just another clue why people are upset.

Of course not, it's all political bullshit: that fat oaf is trying to punish those who refuse to drink the MAGA Kool-Aid.

Fuck Donald Trump!

Blue Lives Matter Reveals Pro-ICE Decoy Operation With ‘Combat Veterans, Off-Duty Officers’

STOP what you're doing - we have a pretty huge update and confession about this whole "Report ICE activity hotline" situation.

By about 1am, we had reports come in from numerous states that there had been "incidents" at a number of biker bars last night. 🇺🇸

It turns out that "report ICE activity hotlines" had received "tips" about "off-duty ICE agents" drinking at dozens of bars. Those bars just so happened to be biker bars owned or frequented by individuals who haven't always been on the right side of the law.

ICE protestors were alerted and given the addresses of these bars. According to friends of ours across the country, beta soy boy, gender-fluid communist Meal Team Sixers showed up with their "F-ICE" flags and tried barging into the bars.

Except... there were no ICE agents drinking there. As a wise man once said... "now you's can't leave".

To clarify, WE absolutely did NOT report those addresses to the "Report ICE activity hotlines". That's ridiculous, guys. What kind of people do you think we are?

Nah. We simply provided the "Report ICE activity hotlines" to the good ole' boys that DRINK at those bars and asked them if they wanted to have a fun night.

Hey leftists... we've been warning you... there would be a time when the people who just wanted to be left alone get off the sidelines.

Keep going, children. We're in this for the long haul... and we're really, really good at it.

If you have a phone or fingers to type... you can get in the fight and help protect ICE and law enforcement. Below you'll find the "report ICE activity" hotlines.

Have fun and blast this thing all over the internet.

😂😂😂😂😂

Let ICE do their job, which I thought was to bag only those here illegally..

It's them picking up / imprisoning those legally here, e.g. under Biden's amnesty deal, that bugs me.

But bottom line: if you aren't here legally then get the hell out or you'll be thrown out.

What, you're here illegally but have married an American, have a job, no criminal record and a family?

Sucks to be you: get out.
