Trump and Stephen Miller keep pushing their migrant ‘surges’…..
But?
They ARE coming to the REALITY of Law Enforcement….
The ‘System’ has only so much capacity…..
From cops and agents to courts and jail cells….

White House border czar Tom Homan is warning of an immigration enforcement blitz in sanctuary cities, as the administration launched enforcement operations in Boston and Chicago this week.
The planned surge is running up against a limited number of detention beds.
“We’re almost at capacity,” Homan told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. But “we got beds coming online every day.”
His comments underscore an ongoing tension in President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda: The mismatch between the White House’s appetite for increased enforcement and the logistical hurdles of rapidly deploying unprecedented resources and deporting people from the U.S., according to administration officials and policy experts. ICE continues to fall short of the White House’s goal of 3,000 daily immigration-related arrests.
