Why is ICE only going after the low-hanging fruit?

Ludicrous. It will be overturned. Another rogue judge appointed by Biden. He did so much damage to this country.

Many Trump appointed judges have ruled against his administration in his second term. Are they “rogue” judges as well?

A few of the decisions I have agreed with. This one is egregiously bad.

I now understand why so many of these ICE agents are wearing masks. They aren't ICE agents and did not sign up for this task. Apparently, DHS/HSI has tapped all branches (FBI, USSS, DEA, ATF, and even IRS) to send agents for ICE taskforces. They are hiding their faces because they don't want to be doxxed when they didn't sign up to do ICE raids & deportations.

This friend wants out. He also said ATF is a mess with no leadership. He's pushing through to July which is his 20year mark.

And think about what isn't happening...ATF staffing doing aTF jobs, FBI counterterrorism, not doing their jobs, FBI domestic terrorism, not doing their jobs. We are going to have more catastrophic events because there is no one minding the store.

Guess you didn’t hear about the arrests today of the Chinese nationals charged with agroterrorism.

DP. No, I did not. Please provide a link and TIA

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/us/politics/chinese-students-fungus.html?unlocked_article_code=1.MU8.T1Ym.dKRRl7uEB_XK&smid=url-share

The students, Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, were in a romantic relationship last July, when U.S. authorities say Mr. Liu arrived in the country carrying small bags of the fungus Fusarium graminearum, which causes a disease that can cripple wheat, barley, maize and rice.

The disease, head blight, is a familiar problem for American farmers, particularly in Northern and Eastern states, according to research funded by the Agriculture Department that has tracked it in 32 states last year. The fungus can be particularly damaging to winter wheat crops.

Ms. Jian was arrested and booked in the federal courthouse in Detroit; Mr. Liu is believed to be in China. The criminal charges come as tensions mount between the United States and China over the Trump administration’s vow to “aggressively” revoke student visas for Chinese nationals. Such students, the administration says, risk siphoning off sensitive technology or trade secrets from American labs for the benefit of their home country.

The new case is distinct from most past national security cases related to Chinese students. Ms. Jian and Mr. Liu are accused not of taking material out of the United States, but of bringing it in. And charging papers specifically cite Ms. Jian’s written pledge of loyalty to the Communist Chinese Party.[b]

This is why it's important to question the presence of so many Chinese CCP students at Harvard. It also supports Rubio's efforts to scrutinize every student visa to determine if any individuals intend to cause harm or unrest in the US.

You don’t punish a whole group for the actions of a few.

From the party that insists anyone who isn't a democrat is a J6er, and all white people are racist, that is cute.

For the party that insists anyone who is not a republican is not American with rights, you are a meanie.

No, we think people who are not citizens are not Americans and can be deported and deprived of specific rights like owning a gun. Because that’s the law.

What did the gay people do to you? They are not Americans?

I’m against Chinese importing dangerous illegal fungus that can kill our crops. Are you?

Every time I come through customs, I see someone who packed food that’s not allowed because it can carry diseases that could harm our crops. That’s why they have the rule and that’s why they make you open your bag and confiscate it.

These two were charged with visa issues and fraud including false documents and admitted to doing this purposefully, so I am not sure what you are getting at here. This wasn’t an accident - are you even following the news story?

“Liu later admitted that he planned to use the fungus for research at a laboratory at the University of Michigan, where Jian worked.“

BREAKING: ICE announced they’ve arrested a Tajikistan-born suspected Al Qaeda member who was previously released into the U.S. by the Biden administration in March 2023. ICE says the man arrived at the border near San Diego on 3/21/23, and was paroled into the U.S. despite being charged as an inadmissible alien. ICE found & arrested him in Philadelphia.

ICE says Tajikistan authorities declared him a fugitive and suspected member of the terrorist organization last month, so it’s unlikely the Biden admin knew about his background. But it highlights the extreme national security concerns associated with the Biden admin’s open border policies to mass catch and release millions of foreign nationals who arrived at the border during their tenure.

ICE statement:

“Arresting individuals linked to terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda reaffirms our unwavering commitment to safeguard the homeland. Through close collaboration with our outstanding partners at the FBI, we have taken decisive action to make our communities safer and prevent potential threats to the American people,” said ICE Philadelphia acting Field Office Director Brian McShane. “I commend the dedicated men and women of ICE and the FBI for their tireless efforts and steadfast resolve in protecting this great nation.”

Is anyone on this thread still buying OP’s claim of ICE “only going after low hanging fruit” after all this evidence!?

The point is, they're inserting themselves where they have no power. A district court judge ( and I think there are around 600 of them), cannot override the power of the executive branch because of their "feels".

Plus, a judge is supposed to rule on points of law.



Rulings mentioning idiocy like "this move would impact the livelihood of employees, so I'm staying the order" are just ridiculous. (I made that up, but you get the gist)

^^ A government agency or department has a mission. It's not there to employ people. If the mission is no longer deemed relevant, their livelihood does not matter.

This is the kind of bunk we get from judges who think their orders apply to whole subjects they have zero jurisdiction over to begin with.

YES because we have plenty of anecdotes too.

And "suspected ties" could be totally made-up BS from this lying administration too. We've already seen how they lie and distort with photoshopped "MS 13" tattoos and everything else.

Here's a guy who is not a terrorist, or a gang member, or for that matter even the guy that ICE was trying to arrest.

They are arresting RANDOM people.

Anecdotes are not evidence. Your random blips from the news claiming x and y change nothing and mean nothing.

Ask yourself, has crime gone down in America after all of these arrests of supposed gang members, criminals and terrorists? NOPE.

Yes, because the immense majority are low hanging fruit: hard-working people who have committed no crimes and pay their taxes.

You don't get accolades for occasionally doing your job.

Besides, the better question is: Is anyone still buying anything DHS/Kristi Noem/ICE says? I do not. They have lied from the beginning. I do not trust a word they say.

Actual criminals are being arrested. Your claims have literally been disproved here and over on this board. Real criminals are being swept up by ICE. It’s laughable you’re suggesting otherwise when the links are in this thread.

Breaking into a country, not murdering people and paying sales tax is not a legal pathway to staying in the country.

If it were that simple I’d have citizenship all over the world.

+1.

I actually looked this up because I was surprised that a Tajik was affiliated with Al Qaeda. The Tajiks were traditionally aligned with the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan. The Northern Alliance, if you recall that far back, was fighting Al Qaeda even before 9/11 and after 9/11 we (the US) allied with them against the Taliban.

However, there was a also a civil war in Tajikistan in the '90's and the opposition eventually aligned with Al Qaeda, so I guess the claim is that this guy is a part of the opposition party/terrorist group.

Who knew things could be so complex.
