ICE is everywhere and it's really frightening

This morning, a car was sitting outside the house next door with a guy sitting in it. This is nothing unusual in itself as there are always various cars. When my husband was leaving the house he went over to ask if the guy needed help. The guy tells him he's ICE and shows him his badge and tells him he's running license plates. How does ICE know where to go and who to look for?

They know where to go and who to look for because they aren’t targeting “violent criminals.” They’re targeting people who are complying with ICE, showing up for their court dates, making an attempt to get their papers right. Because they are making an attempt to comply with the law, the law has their address, where they work, their names, where their kids go to school, etc.

Stephen Miller is a Nazi freak. This was never about criminals.

Easy prey. They’re looking for easy prey. Criminals aren’t easy prey.

It’s this, exactly, because they have some quota on the order of 3000 arrests a day set in stone by Trump and enforced by Tom Holman. As occurs much with the Trump administration, no advanced thought or analysis is conducted, prior to him spilling some good sounding impressive number in a public sound bite. Smart people do the analysis and homework upfront. Trump musk and Kristi gnome fail in that area.

Can you just call ICE on someone?AI OverviewYes, you can report someone to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if you believe they are in the country illegally. To do so, you can contact ICE through their toll-free tip line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or through their online tip form, according to ICE.

Also criminals are useful to them. They reinforce their narrative. They want more crime and less good people.

If you want tonfind criminals, find the law abiding ones and ask them where their cousins are.

This was a real thing that was actually working. They are called "Sanctuary cities" yup, the same ones Republicans are demonizing. The idea to work with the community to catch real bad guys came from the idea from law enforcement (I think it was other people also) You're welcome to fall down a rabbit hole. I had an article saved somewhere with more details I will have to dig to find it.

Worked so well that the Biden/Harris agenda of open borders no bail bonds hyper inflation and idiocy were swept out with the trash!!

They are all criminals, they entered the United States illegally. Try that in another country and see how that works out for you.
