re: Axios is trying to say Trump is losing independents because of deportations.

The vast majority of people ICE has detained are violent criminals.
Many of the non violent illegals have self deported.
This is not even remotely close to try. I can go pull up the findings, but it was less than 15-20% of the detained and deported people in the last year have had violent criminal history.
Even if you assume the ~1m number that is floated of self-deportations is true, that's anywhere from 3-5% of the total illegal population.

Trump is doing exactly what he said he’d do and everyone voted for it.
I don’t believe it.
All I have is anecdotal evidence, but I've heard numerous instances told to me directly over the last few months of people not happy with the intensity of the arrests, and these were all from people who voted for Trump numerous times. A lot of people wanted secured borders and to get the "murderers, rapists, and drug dealers" out, but when they lawn guy and cleaning lady they have known for 15 years is getting picked up too they aren't as supportive.
Again just anecdotal evidence, but if it is rubbing some people in a bright red area wrong, I can imagine it's not playing great in purple or light red areas.

Yes he should do it through legislation lol you mean the same legislature that wouldn’t codify even the most basic budget cuts, or the legislature that can’t even pass voter ID laws.
Then he needs to use his power and influence to make them do it, that's not an excuse. Everyone agrees Congress are a bunch of lazy pieces of shite, but that doesn't mean that our structure of government simply goes out of the window.

Not acknowledging the unpopularity of how Trump is using ICE to fight illegal immigration and figuring out a more rational, better way to go about it, is going to hurt the GOP and Trump politically.
Stephen Miller doesn't know about chisels, only hammers. 2 years with a GOP controlled Congress means that every campaign goal could have been achieved with legislation, but instead trying to force a full term worth of goals in 1 month with EO's is coming back to bite them.
I want the system broken down and rebuilt, but the way to make it stick is through legislation with supplements in EO's.

Oklahoma is raiding FCS teams and paying players to be “practice squad” players.
The kid who was contacted did not even start for SLU.
I was curious who it was because everyone with skills to move up has already, graduated, or is trying to go pro.

It was definitely the SEC HC that’s from Hammond…
I was thinking about this, and would be extraordinarily shitty for him to do it that way. He has ties, briefly, to SLU and his DC spent a few years at SLU too. Would be way better to make good relationships with the staff and have SLU be the development team. Some of our best players have been on the defensive side of the ball, which fits with them.
I guess expecting loyalty in the current CFB environment is dumb on my part though.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Wish he brought receipts and called them out by name. SEC resorting to tampering with FCS teams now is the icing on the cake of the rough last month the conference has had.

This is what I responded to. Nothing you said changes that, all you posted were the most common ways removal orders are issued.
Are they doing targeted enforcement for people with prior orders, yes. Are they doing a ton of non-targeted enforcement for people who don't have final orders, also very much yes.

It’s disheartening as hell. None of yall gave a shite about immigrants or ICE until you were ordered to care. Congress could have “fixed” immigration YEARS ago, but very powerful people on both sides like to exploit cheap labor, so this is what we get. It’s not about masks, or mean ICE officers. It’s about power and manipulation.
Outside of housekeepers or gardeners, none of yall know any illegals. You aren’t friends with them. You’re exploiting their condition for political purposes.
This sums up the annoying part about the current liberal meltdown perfectly. It is all performative white rage.
In 4 years of Biden they did nothing to actually fix the system, and instead sat around while he left the border wide open to exasperated the already tense situation.

The swing of a shovel deserves a bullet now? These clowns. ICE is going to kill more people. Congress needs to step in now before it’s too late.
I mean, maybe? Taking the statements at face value of multiple people attacking the officer with shovels, seems shooting in self-defense is reasonable.

Are you completely ignorant of the process by which ICE operations take place? A judge needs to sign off on a deportation order prior to an operation taking place.
The irony of telling someone they are ignorant of the process while stating the process wrong. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
A deportation order, it if comes, comes a long time after an operation to detain someone. The "warrants" they use are administrative warrants ICE issues themselves on the spot when they have reasonable suspicion someone is in violation of immigration law. They can get judicial warrants signed by Article III judges, and in some operations they issue themselves administrative warrants if they know they are targeting a specific person, but all of these collateral detentions absolutely do not have signed deportation orders or judicial warrants beforehand.

You're probably right, Solomon is FOS.
Being accurate but misleading is not the same as being FOS. He is probably right, I have no doubt in my mind that Biden's DHS was working with AMLO to get Haitians out of MX into the US. It wasn't a secret that Mexico spent a ton of time and money securing their southern border, and the resentment to Haitians and Venezuelans in northern Mexico is also very well known.

Define "coordination" because it if means "Mexico didn't want Central Americans, Venezuelans, and especially Haitians in Mexico and was happy the Biden admin was willing to take them all in" then very much so. If it is trying to imply something more sinister then that is a nonsense conspiracy.

Not saying I fully disagree with you, but no reason to believe they are trying to prosecute her. They could be searching for evidence related to the leaker if they have probable cause to believe she has evidence at her home.
The sensationalism in journalism these days are as bad as any politician for creating tensions in the American people.
