How is reducing the number of people that ICE can house a good idea?

so you compare an act where a much bigger person, verbally accosts someone, then takes their hat and their drink, throws the drink back in their face while continuing verbal threats, leaving tauntingly carrying the hat and NO ONE in the restaurant to help them with the incident being considered?

If there’s people around to help the victim it’s not assault or as bad? Seriously?

Getting back to the OP.

Serious question…is there evidence to support the assertion that ICE has helped significantly reduce the illegal population in the US?

If so…what is this evidence, and what has been the cost in money, time, intangibles, etc to bring about these results?

Remember…ICE came out of the Homeland Security Act…it’s only been around for a relatively short time…but long enough we should be able to make an evaluation of its effectiveness, correct?

You probably don’t need it. But the 4000 angel families who had loved ones killed by invaders would beg to differ.

Why’s that?

Any detailed answers?

Doesn’t affect me.

How does that change what happened? You’ve still been assaulted.

ICE is the sole interior immigration enforcement agency. Anyone who has been deported since ICE was formed was removed from the country by ICE agents.

That’s in the neighborhood of 5 million illegals deported by ICE since it’s inception.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removed approximately 226,000 people from the country in the 2017 fiscal year, which ended on Sept. 30, down 6 percent from the previous year. The 2017 deportations were lower than at any time during the Obama administration, according to previous DHS statistics.

A record high number of immigrants were ordered to be removed from the U.S. in 2018, a rise that many immigration advocates call the culmination of nearly two years of anti-immigration measures from the Trump administration. The president made immigration a central focus of the midterm election campaign.

Immigration officials ordered 287,741 new deportations in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, according to the report from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). TRAC obtained the data from the Department of Homeland Security through Freedom of Information Act requests.

Did you quote the wrong post because that is exactly my point? It’s Smyrna who is making the argument that one incident is assault and the other is not
