Even with the high-profile arrests of suspects by masked immigration agents and the plane loads of migrants swiftly ferried out of the U.S., President Trump was falling short of the number of daily deportations carried out by the Biden administration in its final year.
So in late May, Stephen Miller, a top White House aide and the architect of the president’s immigration agenda, addressed a meeting at the headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. The message was clear: The president, who promised to deport millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, wasn’t pleased. The agency had better step it up.
Gang members and violent criminals, what Trump called the “worst of the worst,” weren’t the sole target of deportations. Federal agents needed to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens,” Miller told top ICE officials, who had come from across the U.S., according to people familiar with the meeting.
Agents didn’t need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice, Miller said. Instead, he directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven convenience stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out on the streets of Washington, D.C., and arrest 30 people right away.
“Who here thinks they can do it?” Miller said, asking for a show of hands.
ICE agents appeared to follow Miller’s tip and conducted an immigration sweep Friday at the Home Depot in the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Westlake in Los Angeles, helping set off a weekend of protests around Los Angeles County, including at the federal detention center in the city’s downtown. On Saturday, Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to Southern California, despite objections by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The WSJ crowd is “concerned”?
More WSJ bull….t
Kristi Noem DHS has stated they had a target list of 400-500 criminals to pickup….not nannies, pool boys and day laborers
the President of Mexico, as a pawn, and the insurgents in the USA, as soldiers,and using as weapons
Mexican nationalism,and if they perceive that the time to strike is now, when the USA, at least in their opinion, is at its weakest, before President Trump and the MAGA Republicans can re-establish US strength and ascendancy.Mexican resentment toward the USA for past transgressions, especially the annexation of Mexican territory by the USA in the 19th century and a desire to reclaim it,
the complicity, witting or unwitting, of the US Democrat Party and its supporters, including the so-called "journalists" of the news media and the feckless, misguided and easily brainwashed American "liberals"/"progressives", and
the Decadence of Western Civilization in America, manifest as the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and its 21st century successor, wokeism, which they perceive as a lethal weakness crippling American society, the American People, and the entire United States,
This reminds me of the scene in “The Untouchables” movie where Sean Connery’s Chicago cop character tells Ness, “Everyone knows where the booze is, the problem is who wants to cross Capone”.
Today everyone knows where the illegals gather, the question is who is ICE afraid to cross?
Your boi, Joe Pedo, “sparked” these commie illegal alien riots when he imported this garbage and sewage from Mexico and points south.
The American news media needs to stop the "Mockingbird Project" leftist propaganda.
You can call them “undocumented migrants” or “Newcomers” or whatever but they are still “illegal aliens” turning into enemy invaders, as those in California waving foreign flags as they riot and tear the place apart. And the Demoncrats, and Lame Street Media, instead of standing with our duly elected government are siding with the insurrectionists.
You don’t have to wonder. That’s exactly what’s happening.
What they can’t make they plan to take.
We are being attacked by foreign invaders. This isn’t an insurrection for them. It’s a war for our land. Their traitor enablers need to be dealt with as they are indeed assisting the enemy as they wage war and continue to invade our country.
Oh?
I assume there is a security desk in the lobby of the WSJ building. I wonder what would happen if a bunch of people just walked past the security desk and just started setting up shop in the offices.
“Kristi Noem DHS has stated they had a target list of 400-500 criminals to pickup….not nannies, pool boys and day laborers.”
They’re all criminals. I don’t care what they do for a living.
Round them up.
Get them out.

Follow the money, for the circle jerk to the citizens that lose.
When it takes 4 people to write an article, you can bet its full of compost.
The WSJ has been turned into a total left wing rag.
Yea, a statement from the WSJ with no supporting facts. The WSJ is no longer what it used to be.
That is laughable.
Maybe the girls who wrote this article enjoy having blunt objects forcibly jammed into their bodily orifices but apparently some women don’t. That’s what one of these “migrants” is accused of.
That was my FIRST thought when I saw this article posted.
Just more NY Compost!
