Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in the first days of the Trump administration, has made hundreds of arrests of illegal immigrants across the U.S.

    hilarious to think that law enforcement waited until now to arrest people for violent crimes. only a bunch of po-dunk morons would believe that.

      If you look at news sources that aren’t Fox, they mention that there were about that many arrests per day during bidens presidency, too; it’s a big country.

      I’d believe that there would be some people in government who would hold off of arresting known threats to make Biden look bad/trump look good. There’s plenty of documented evidence of that sort of thing going on in the past.

      I bet some of the scary examples they sprinkle in there were cases like that, or cases where ice just took custody from local police and called it and arrest.

        The dramatic difference is that ICE will probably start deporting the people they arrest now if they’re not here legally.
