People victimizing others while impersonating law enforcement has happened for as long as we've had law enforcement. But the number of instances of people impersonating ICE in order to rob or otherwise victimize illegals has increased dramatically since Trump got into office. In fact, it's been nearly a 700% increase. https://newrepublic.com/post/197476/ice-truth-data-increase-assaults-agents |

PP, actually the article says that there's been an increase of 690 percent in the number of assaults against ICE and federal immigration enforcement--not an increase in the number of people impersonating ICE. The point of the article is that the number of assaults on ICE officers is not as high as the Trump administration claims. In the past six months there have only been 79 assaults, hardly a huge number given all the encounters that take place. Further, it's not clear what ICE defines as an "assault." For example they claim that the NYC comptroller Brad Lander "assaulted law enforcement" when he did not do so at all.

Good lord. ANY assault in an ICE agent is one too many. That is about 13 assaults every month. That is horrible. |

False. 8 U.S.C. § 1325 criminalizes illegal entry. Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under Title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under Title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both. And, this piece from 2019: "In the first two Democratic presidential debates, candidate Julián Castro drew attention to US Code Title 8, Section 1325, a federal law that makes “illegal entry” into the United States a criminal offense. Castro and other candidates have expressed support for repealing the law, while Castro’s fellow Texan Beto O’Rourke called for a broader rewrite of US immigration law. Section 1325 has received this scrutiny largely because prosecuting people for violating it has contributed to the family separation crisis. If the law were repealed, crossing the border without authorization would remain a civil offense (under 8 US Code § 1182(a)(6)) that carries a penalty of deportation. People would not face criminal penalties for the first unauthorized entry." https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/what-do-we-know-about-section-1325 |

A lot of those assaults are people who think they are being abducted by randos because the ICE agents are not identified as federal agents. Maybe of they wore uniforms and badges and had warrants, things would be different. |

The WSJ editorial board is calling for Trump to pass meaningful immigration reform because he has the credibility and opportunity to do so. Will he?
“Only Nixon could go to China, and maybe only Trump can finally get a polarized Congress to pass real immigration reform. Who knows whether he will try, but the opportunity is there, as public opinion shifts in response to the President’s border success and mass deportation efforts.” “The details of any big beautiful immigration bill would take some negotiating. But if anybody has established the immigration credibility to try, it’s Mr. Trump.” |
