Yup Mr President….
Ya Can’t Win….
Your Miller engineered Mass Detention’s Minnesota Takeover caused you MAJOR Grief, A drop in the countries birthrate, economic down turns , Bad polling numbers, Negative Media , Upset Businesses and TONS of Legal hours for Justice Dept lawyers , who have been chewed on by Federal judges….
You DID move to ‘Cool Things Down’ with personnel changes and moves away from strong arm confrontation’s and shootings….
The issue caused Democrats in the US Senate to STILL withhold approving a spending budget for ICE and CBP…..
Now?
The other side IS annoyed there are NO headlines and less abuse (There IS abuse reports still, just less)…
But the other side WILL vote for ya Donald no matter what…..
Republican lawmakers need votes come November…
(Trump policies are STILL anti-immigration…Just NOT as aggressive )
Going back is worth the pain Mr President?
Markwayne Mullin made clear from the start of his tenure as secretary that he wanted the Department of Homeland Security to stay out of the headlines and adopt a quieter approach after a tumultuous year under his predecessor, Kristi Noem.
He paused plans to convert industrial warehouses into immigrant detention centers. Immigration agents have been told to stop entering homes without judicial warrants. His department has tried to rebrand Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers as “NICE” officers, at the urging of President Trump.
The change in tactics stemmed from fears within the Republican Party that the crackdown could cost them voters in this year’s midterm elections. But the image overhaul has drawn backlash from some ardent Trump supporters who want the administration to dramatically ramp up arrests and broaden its focus beyond immigrants with criminal records. And it has raised questions about the direction of the department as Mr. Mullin and White House officials send mixed signals about how aggressively they plan to deliver on Mr. Trump’s signature campaign promise of mass deportations.
“I don’t know how you do a mass deportation program quietly,” said Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, which was formed as a branch of the conservative Heritage Foundation. “The president ran loudly on it. I don’t think it’s something to shy away from.”…

But Mr. Mullin has taken pains in interviews to make clear the department is targeting what it calls the “worst of the worst” and moving away from the more indiscriminate tactics that swept up many noncriminals in major cities. He has said Americans would not see a repeat of the Minnesota operation, which drew widespread backlash after two U.S. citizens were fatally shot by immigration officers amid protests.
“We’re not going into New York like another Minneapolis,” Mr. Mullin said in an interview with Fox Business on Thursday. “We’re going to go after the felons.”…
…
The latest public data from ICE through early April show that daily average arrests have dipped to about 1,000, from a peak of about 1,500 in January amid the crackdown in Minnesota. That 1,000 arrests a day was about four times higher than during the last year of the Biden administration, when about 250 people a day were detained by ICE….

Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, an acting deputy homeland security secretary during the first Trump administration, said that setting up confrontations ahead of time by loudly announcing agents’ presence in a particular region reduces the efficiency of operations.
“It increases danger to both agents and officers as well as the public in general,” Mr. Cuccinelli said. “None of those are positives.”…

Lawmakers May Continue to Inspect ICE Detention Centers, Appeals Court Rules
A federal appeals court declined, for now, to halt an order requiring D.H.S. to permit unannounced visits to immigration detention centers by Democrats in Congress….
A federal appeals court on Friday required the Trump administration to continue allowing lawmakers to inspect immigration detention facilities without advance notice, ruling unanimously that the impromptu visits posed minimal problems for the government.
The decision by a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit preserved, for now, the ability of Democrats in Congress to make unannounced visits to detention centers and check on the conditions inside.
It came as the Trump administration is working to dramaticallyexpand the Department of Homeland Security’s detention capacity with converted warehouses and as detention facilities have repeatedly drawn allegations of human rights violations….
Note….
It would appear the mass deportation redeo days are over and ain’t coming back….
Good…
Some lawmakers want to dismantle parts of Homeland Security not involved in immigration to NOT have those agencies dragged in the Trump immigration mess…
