Yeah I hope I'm proven wrong but I don't get how doing this in MN helps.

If we could bring the NYSE and a number of airports to a halt, that would hurt the people Trump listens to. Would one day hurt though?

Why don’t you head out to DCA that day PP, with your little sign taped to a yardstick? I’m sure you would get a lot of attention.

What’s your great idea you twit?

Get out of ICE’s way and let them clean up Biden’s mess. Sooner the illegals are gone, sooner ICE is gone.

Is the way they treated this US citizen Biden's mess?

Why are you so quiet about this, MAGA? Defend this.

Looks like someone is getting helped down the stairs. I don’t know if this person is legal or not, neither do you. Maybe ICE is helping him go to an appointment.

This is a big operation. Biden let in 12M illegals, so not every interaction is going to be perfect. But, this has to be done, and it’s what Americans voted for.

LOL, that is a US citizen who has been arrested by ICE and not allowed to put clothes on. Nice try

CNN just reported ICE has detained about 38000 illegals with criminal records and/or current criminal proceedings. CNN’s report was overall positive for ICE. This is definitely making the country safer.

They killed a young citizen mother and gassed a citizen baby. They roughed up an older citizen veteran. This just in the last week.

ICE Barbie's own department said only 47% of those apprehended had a criminal record. Try guzzling less propaganda.

This is direct reporting from CNN - the most liberal new outlet on the planet. I’ m not guzzling anything. And given the size of the operation, not every interaction will be perfect.

38000 illegals with criminal records/proceedings are detained out of total 69000 illegal detained. All will be deported. These are facts reported by CNN.

What percentage of the detained had a criminal record? How many US citizens and green card holders were detained? Report it all, because she was on TV just the other day and did not have answers.

38000 out of 69000 have criminal records/current criminal proceedings. I already said that, do some simple math yourself. That’s 38000 criminals off the streets.

I want to know what crimes were committed by the so called "illegal criminals". Are we talking a civil crime, such as getting a speeding ticket or an actual crime, such as theft, rape, murder, etc? Because Noem and Trump make up shit or misrepresent truth all the time, I don't trust anything they have to say.

And most of these illegals are in Texas and Florida, so ICE should all be sent to those states.

And you, Biden, and your cohorts didn't care about what happened in those states with so many illegal immigrants moving there...as long as your state's schools and communities weren't impacted.

I guess people gave up on the strike already.

Civil crime ? CNN didn’t breakdown the crime. Any crime is too much when they are breaking immigration laws also.

ICE hore noem says 10 million. You say 12 million. My question is how do you know how many Biden supposedly let in as there is d nobody to count the undocumented.

We’ll that is the problem isn’t it, nobody actually knows the exact number thanks to Joe Biden. But it’s millions, estimated 10-12. 2 million already self-deported - the smart ones. Another 600K by ICE. Let’s see what the total is over the next 3 years.

The problem is that every time a MAGA speaks you are just pulling numbers out of thin air. You have no proof of anything. You are hopelessly ignorant and uninformed. During his campaign Trump claimed 15-20 million illegal immigrants stole their way into the US under Biden. You say 22 million. Noem says 10 million. You have zero credibility.

I never said 22 million, but anything measured in millions is way too many. Doesn’t matter, T is on it and he will get them out.

Mea culpa. My mistake, you said 10 million but none of your tallies concur. Still pulling numbers out of your posteriors.

Not really, but like I said, I don’t give a f*ck what you believe. T is taking care of the problem.

T Man to the rescue.

I notice you never bother to describe what great horror these evil immigrants inflict on a mass scale. You won’t say what it is, but it justifies shooting U.S. citizens and sending children to the hospital?

I’m sure you’ll be along with an unreadable series of X posts describing how one time an immigrant did something awful like commit a murder. But you always seem to ignore how American citizens commit violent crimes at higher rates and in greater numbers. So the crime isn’t the real issue for you. That just leaves vague excuses about strained school budgets or nonsense about immigrants taking up too many apartments. Even if you accept those things as true, no one actually believes they’re problems that justify transforming the U.S. into a police state.

This is a losing argument for you. You are fine with ICE’s violence. But the public is not. All polling on the issue shows this. Continuing to support the losing side without qualification as you’re doing is a recipe for ensuring there is massive immigration reform of the kind I know you won’t enjoy.

PP here. Hope you feel better after your rant. I'm not MAGA and voted for Harris. I don't approve of ICE's tactics. Just pointing out that most posters here don't care about the presrnce of illegal immigrants unless personally impacted.

They killed a young citizen mother and gassed a citizen baby. They roughed up an older citizen veteran. This just in the last week.

38000 out of 69000 have criminal records/current criminal proceedings. I already said that, do some simple math yourself. That’s 38000 criminals off the streets.

When you call people here on TPS status "criminals" it massively undermines your argument.

The 38000 criminal violations are for crimes in addition to immigration violations. And there is no argument here, these are reported facts from CNN. If you have a problem with it, your beef is with them.

You keep citing these numbers. What is the source? You can’t just say “I saw it on CNN” and pretend people will believe you.

I googled those numbers. There is one article stating 69000 people are CURRENTLY in ICE detention as of earlier this month. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/14/ice-immigration-detention-centers-booming-trump/88158810007/
It does not say how many of those current detainees have criminal records, but it does note the administration has changed reporting practices to label anyone who crossed the border illegally a “criminal,” which was not the case in any other administration.

I found a separate article from last June where it was reported that the administration had arrested 38,000 immigrants with criminal convictions. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/trump-vowed-deport-worst-worst-new-data-shows/story?id=123287810
This is NOT the number of current detainees but the number of arrests overall. You’ll see the article also mentions over 95000 arrests had already been made by the middle of 2025. As the article explains, at no point did people with criminal convictions make up the majority of arrests.

You appear to be conflating two different types of data to give the false impression that the majority of people Trump’s ICE is arresting have criminal records. This is not true. All credible reporting on this topic says the opposite. Even CNN:
https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/us/ice-tactics-raids-arrests-dhs

Federal data reveals most immigrants taken into custody don’t have serious criminal convictions, according to a report by CNN Investigates. More than 75% of people booked into ICE custody in fiscal year 2025 had no criminal conviction other than an immigration or traffic-related offense, according to ICE records from October through the end of May.

I can say because I saw it with my own eyes. In fact, I ran it back twice to make sure the numbers were right. They had nice pie chart that laid it all out, and the women reporting was really attractive brunette. You can believe it or don’t believe it, IDGF.

So give us the link, please.

Because right now we are assuming: 1) you made it up or 2) you misunderstood.

Why are we to sure? for 1) because DHS and the Trump administration have been proven by videos that contradict them to lie constantly . and as for 2) well, because every single non-partisan study has contradicted you.

I’m going to buy a ton of stuff today to protest the protest.

[Anonymous]

I don't agree with the ICE tactics whatsoever. I also don't agree that someone here illegally needs to commit a crime here in order to be deported. I still want tighter borders and immigration enforcement even if I don't agree with ICE right now.

you know there is a middle ground, right? So if you have nothing to say about the tactics, then you do, in fact, agree with their tactics.

DP, but are these protests really about tactics? There are people who really don’t want ANY enforcement, or any consequences for those who do not comply with enforcement. There are people who protest the very existence of law enforcement, who were already protesting before anything at all happened.
