Haha. That’s rich. It’s also 100% bull****.
@Mongoose , he of beating back the Deep State, is 100% behind the creation of a fascist police state in the United States. Anybody at all surprised that he doesn’t seem to realize that? He actually supports the Nazification of his own country, and doesn’t even know it. He supports the concentration camps Miller is ordering built. It should be noted that Red states are also saying no to internment camps, where torture takes place, but not
@Mongoose. No sir, he relishes cruelty to undocumented human beings.
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.
The official statistics contained in the DHS document, which had not been previously reported publicly, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's far-reaching deportation operations across the U.S.
The internal DHS figures undermine frequent assertions by the Trump administration that its crackdown on illegal immigration is primarily targeting dangerous and violent criminals living in the U.S. illegally, people Mr. Trump and his lieutenants have regularly called the "worst of the worst."
The statistics show ICE has dramatically increased arrests since Mr. Trump's return to office. Nearly 60% of ICE arrestees over the past year had criminal charges or convictions, the document indicates. But among that population, the majority of the criminal charges or convictions are not for violent crimes.
For example, while Mr. Trump and his aides often talk about immigration officials targeting murderers, rapists and gangsters, the internal data indicate that less than 2% of those arrested by ICE over the past year had homicide or sexual assault charges or convictions. Another 2% of those taken into ICE custody were accused of being gang members.

Nearly 40% of all of those arrested by ICE in Mr. Trump's first year back in office did not have
any criminal record at all, and were only accused of civil immigration offenses, such as living in the U.S. illegally or overstaying their permission to be in the country, the DHS document shows. Those alleged violations of U.S. immigration law are typically adjudicated by Justice Department immigration judges in civil — not criminal — proceedings.
While Mr. Trump's deportation program enjoyed majority support during the 2024 presidential campaign and his early months in office, public opposition to his crackdown has grown significantly because of concerns about agents' tactics in cities like Minneapolis and over who is being swept up by their operations.
A
CBS News poll last month found that Americans' support for Mr. Trump's deportation efforts had fallen to 46%, down from 59% at
the start of his second term. Just over 60% of those surveyed said immigration agents were being "too tough."

@Mongoose, what stands out in your posts, and a couple of other pro-Trump posters, is your lack of actual facts, and most importantly, your belief that cruelty toward undocumented humans, some living here for decades, is 100% justified. You want these undocumented human beings hurt. And hurt bad. Your cruelty overshadows everything. And that cruelty, on the part of many Americans, is exactly why our long term friends, who once looked to us as promoters of human freedom, human rights, as the nation that stood for the GOOD, the RIGHT, now find themselves slack jawed and asking “what happened to America?”
Bottom line, you spent much time here, railing against Democrats, pretending to have it all figured out, and figured it out long ago, according to you, you’ve seen through all the lies of the past 80 years, yet you ignore the very obvious effort to create a racist and fascist police force in the United States, beholden only to the president.
You haven’t seen a thing. You missed what’s happening in our country entirely, and have only your anger to fall back on, oblivious to your own blindness.
