The target was delivered by Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem, and triples figures from earlier this year
The Trump administration has set aggressive new goals in its anti-immigration agenda, demanding that federal agents arrest 3,000 people a day – or more than a million in a year.
The new target, tripling arrest figures from earlier this year, was delivered to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) leaders by Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, and Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary, in a strained meeting last week.
The intense meeting, first reported by Axios and confirmed by the Guardian, involved Ice officials from enforcement and removal operations (ERO) and homeland security investigations (HSI) – both separate offices within DHS. ERO is in charge of immigration enforcement, including arrests, detention and deportation, while HSI typically focuses on investigating transnational crime, such as drug trafficking, human smuggling and the spread of online child abuse.
Bets as to how many US citizens get caught up in this, and how many of them get deported without even a hint of due process?
Ah yes, what we needed were incentives to arrest even more innocent people for no reason … Wonderful
Oh look, the worst people in the world have thought about things and have some exciting new ideas.
Fuckin dildo. At least his wife got what she was looking for. Not the dildo of a husband, but a musky baby…
