ICE set an ambitious goal: 10,000 new agents.

They just blew way past that.

We now have TWELVE THOUSAND new ICE agents deploying as we speak—an unprecedented 120% increase.

We're about to supercharge mass deportations.

And there's nothing the Left can do to stop it.

They’re going to need one (1) aggressive AG (could be existing or replacement, don’t care) and a lot of eager prosecuting attorneys both willing to go after incitement and conspiracy charges and able to file these charges where they will at least hit neutral judges and not 99.98% into the courts of leftwing activist Obama appointees.

Our new and existing ICE agents need to know they won’t get the Derek Chauvin treatment when they do their job, and the professional rioters need to know they AND their bosses are going to get rekt if they start stuff.

Only one murderous “protester” has been shot so far.
Given the massive member of assaults on ICE officers, that number is going to increase inevitably.

They need to also expand the immigration judge ranks by 10000 to get the hearings done faster. Need to deport tens of millions to make a huge impact on the 2030 census.

I’m a YouTube junkie. I admit it. And for the last six months or so ICE has been advertising for new agents on YouTube. Awesome!

Heck, those ads almost convinced me to apply. But I really don’t think ICE would be interested in an old guy who routinely cannot find his glasses.

Anyway, I’m a bit surprised that Google (who owns YouTube) allows such advertisements. After all, Google isn’t exactly known for its patriotism.

Baloney.

Trump’s using them for theater while gearing up for RINO-style amnesty:

12,000 new agents are good but 120,000 new agents would be much better. Are these new agents trained and experienced law enforcement veterans or are they merely bodies?

How long will it take to train rookies? Not all ice agents are kicking down doors, undoubtedly a vast background army of record-keeping bureaucrats who do not need to go to work in boots and camo will have to be stood up.

I repeat my recommendation that these agents in the field be equipped with body cams and that a squad of professional documentarians accompany ICE on big sweeps to make films that vividly portray the extent of protester interference and reveal the nature of their unattractive belligerence.

If we're going to flood the zone with ice agents, as we should, it is necessary to win the hearts and minds even as we kick asses.

New York Times huh?
Notorious for making up stories to sabotage Republicans every election year going back decades.
Why would anyone believe them?

“12,000 new agents are good but 120,000 new agents would be much better. “

Why stop at a mere 120,000?
Why don't you go to 1.2 million while you are about it?
Chuckle.

“Are these new agents trained and experienced law enforcement veterans or are they merely bodies”

Thy are better trained and more hard working than the garbage Biden employed.
Biden just took on people based on DEI, no surprise border security collapsed under Biden, making it the worst in American history.

They’ve been trained already obviously.

Google changed after Trump won. Self preservation.
Especially since X under Musk was doing so well.
Right now there are more conservative videos on YouTube than ever before.
Totally new ball game.

Did you even read Trump’s quotes in the link I posted?

And Trump’s the one giving the NYT the interview and quotes. They match perfectly with what Trump started to push last spring and then shut up about — and with the complete failure of the admin to get real mass deportations going while giving us this ugly street theater.

Over 2.5 million illegals out of the country in just 11 months, even before the new 12,000 ICE Agents were taken on, is not “complete failure”.
Not to mention the Mexican border is shut tighter than at any time in history.
Illegal drug imports have been cut down so much, deaths from drug overdose have already fallen sharply.
Thank you President Trump.

Nope.
Hey why don't you just make it a cool million eh?
100,000 is too small yes?
Of course you and Soros and Reid Hoffman will pay for the million yes?
