Will “mass deportation” actually happen (8 Viewers)

[superchuck500]

It’s so repulsive to see people cheering for what is basically 80% the same thing as the Holocaust - different end result but otherwise very similar.

Economists have said it would tank the economy and cause inflation - notwithstanding the cost.

Is it going to actually happen or is this Build The Wall 2.0?

The ICE agent who fatally shot a Minnesota protester in January has been reassigned to a different state and allowed to continue working for the federal government, according to a new report.

Jonathan Ross was captured on camera firing several shots through the windshield of Good’s vehicle as she tried to leave the area on January 7, an incident that caused widespread protests in Minneapolis and the surrounding areas.

The officer is effectively being protected from ICE’s internal accountability process because the FBI investigation into the incident has stalled, senior Department of Homeland Security officials told PunchUp, who first reported the news.

The Independent has contacted the Department of Homeland Security for comment on the reports.

Shortly after Good’s death, reports emerged that the Trump administration had allegedly opened, and then terminated, a civil rights investigation into Ross’s response to the incident.…….

Oh damn, if they assign without saying whom, we all know who is whom.

Who-dat!?!

A month into his tenure, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is facing mounting pressure from conservative groups that fear the Trump administration is going soft on its mass deportation agenda amid a public backlash over aggressive enforcement tactics.

Mullin has vowed to restore confidence in the Department of Homeland Security after the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. In a recent cable news appearance, he expressed a desire to conduct enforcement in a “more quiet way.”

Organizations such as the Mass Deportation Coalition, formed in March and led by the Heritage Foundation, interpret that approach as a potential betrayal of one of the president’s core campaign promises. The coalition recently published a lengthy report concluding that the administration had deported 350,000 immigrants in the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, far fewer than the 650,000 deportations that Trump officials have cited.

The numbers “don’t represent a victory in quantity,” said the report, which offered 21 recommendations to vastly expand operations. “What remains is a policy choice: to carry out a program of mass deportation, in keeping with the campaign promise, or not,” the report said. Mike Howell, president of Heritage’s Oversight Project, said Mullin’s comments thus far appear aimed at “assuaging left-wing concerns.”

“There’s not a lot of recommitting to the cause” of mass deportations, Howell said in an interview. “It makes you wonder.”

DHS remains mired in a partial shutdown, and Trump is facing the lowest approval ratings of his second term, with the public souring on his handling of immigration, the economy and the war in Iran. Mullin has consistently struck a moderate message, saying his goal is to keep DHS from being the lead story on the news each night. That rhetoric reflects guidance given to Mullin by the White House, according to one federal official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Mullin told lawmakers at his confirmation hearing that he supports requiring immigration officers to obtain judicial warrants, signed by a federal judge, before entering private residences. That would reverse the agency’s guidance last year that officers could instead rely on administrative warrants approved by ICE officials, which legal analysts said violated constitutional due process rights.

During an interview on Fox News in mid-April, Mullin told host Laura Ingraham that the nation favors legal immigration. Ingraham cut him off.

“We want mass deportations,” she said. “That’s what the American people voted for.”

Mullin responded by citing the costs to taxpayers of arresting and deporting migrants, saying it would be less expensive if they chose to self-deport in response to government pressure.

“We’re not slowing down,” he said. “We’re going after the illegals, and we’d love for them to leave on their own.”

Trump has tried to improve the public’s views of ICE, which he praised for helping the Transportation Security Administration manage lengthy lines at U.S. airports last month caused by the DHS shutdown. On Sunday, the president endorsed a conservative influencer’s suggestion of changing ICE’s name to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or NICE...........
