NEW YORK — The immigration officers sat in their vehicles before dawn near a two-story building. A New York subway line rumbled overhead. After about two hours, an officer’s voice crackled over the radio.
“I think that’s Tango,” he said, using a term for a target. “Gray hoodie. Backpack. Walking quickly.”
The officers surrounded and handcuffed a 23-year-old man from Ecuador who had been convicted of sexually assaulting a minor.
Kenneth Genalo, head of Enforcement and Removal Operations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in New York, said a popular misconception is that officers can sweep into a community and pick up a wide swath of people who are in the United States illegally and send them to their home countries.
“It’s called targeted enforcement,” Genalo said. “We don’t grab people and then take them to JFK and put them on a plane.”
With Donald Trump returning to the White House, there is intense interest in how the Republican will carry out his immigration agenda, including a campaign pledge of mass deportations. His priorities could run into the realities faced by agents focused on enforcement and removals, including the unit in New York that offered the Associated Press a glimpse into its operations: The number of people on its lists to target already eclipses the number of officers available to do the work.
The Biden administration had narrowed deportation priorities to those who present public safety threats or recently crossed the border. Trump’s incoming “border czar,” Tom Homan, says officials in the new administration also will prioritize those who pose a risk, such as criminals, before moving on to immigrants whom courts have ordered removed from the U.S.
But Homan also has signaled that enforcement could be wider: “If you’re in the country illegally, you got a problem,” he said recently...

Hopefully the deportations will start on day one, no exceptions whatsoever.
Just shake down the whole apartment complex he to goes to. There will be many more there. Word will spread and they will self deport...
There is no evidence to support that statement. The Biden administration prioritized processing asylum claims everything enforcement was shut down.
Exactly.
ALL illegals OUT!
Regardless of origin, “ Color”, language, educaton, religion, or any other metric.
Illegal HAS to mean GONE!
Sounds like it’ll be easier than I thought.
Well, if the LA Times says it’s too hard to do, I guess we’ll just have to give up on the idea. But then again, if the LA Times said the sun sets in the west, I’d go and check.
My thoughts exactly.
Publicly deport the first few planeloads to Afghanistan, Ukraine, Haiti, etc. and watch the rest self-deport. It can be like a reverse lottery - spin the wheel and find out where you're getting deported to. People can place their bets online.
We have no obligation to return these invaders to their last suspected country.

My thinking is that if he gets at least the worst of the bunch deported that in itself will be a victory, The gangs and criminals of all sorts must be gone.
No it won’t, it will be harder than most think.
Now the leftist media decides to actually investigate the world of illegal immigration? They’re nothing but partisan hacks doing the bidding of their DNC overlords.
Will there be any temporary jobs (ice, cbp, etc) for us citizens?
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’

This would all be taken care of if people were required to be US Citizens to vote, fly or work.
Now that you say that, I believe it will be easier than I thought in my first post.
Keep in mind, this article is propaganda. The agenda is to fool people into thinking mass deportation can’t happen.
But the methods by which it will take place have not really been spoken, at all yet.
It’s more and more normal for mainstream media to try to make the public feel for those guilty of heinous crimes.. The shock should be that they were found guilty and not immediately deported.
Guilty of rapping a 14 year old, wife shocked he was picked up... Smh
Just shove them over the border into Mexico....the same way Mexico shoved them over the border to us
Let the Mexican government take it from there....as they SHOULD have done when these illegals came across THEIR southern border to begin with!! 😠
