I think ICE is detaining the wrong people.

Who’s *really* exploiting the system? The employers and subcontractors who profit from undocumented workers? Or the workers who pay taxes and Social Security (etc.) and for the most part cause no trouble because their livelihoods depend on their ability to stay under the radar?

"This operation sends a clear message that those who exploit the system and undermine our workforce will be held accountable,” Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Special Agent Steven Schrank said in a statement on Saturday.

1. Sharp eyes! The highlighted all involved except the workers!

2. You are correct

No one has been forthcoming about who is actually to blame.

5. The thing is, we all know who's actually to blame.

I’m sick of US tax dollars being used to suck up to big business (often in the name of “economic development”) and punch down on individuals.

3. Not being rude, but it is patently obvious

These peoples incompetence is in equal proportion to their delusions.

Look at EVERYTHING they do, it substandard and half assed, like hegseth using a communications app he shouldn't use and inviting a media person in.

Its clear they are just looking for "soft targets" were they can ambush as big # of people they can regardless of their actual status, and then just treat them as "illegals" whether they are or not.

People who go on about how our court systems are holding ... they aren't even really using those systems they way should in these cases, and have judges they know will sign of of whatever they are doing to work with.

[Heidi]

4. That's far from rude.

It’s a war on some of the most vulnerable among us in service of big business and the white nationalist MAGA cult.
