Comment on Is ICE still doing the so-called "immigrant" hardass stance and in the states we don't hear about because "bigger" stories? Kind of like the Nazi's did against Germans about the Jews?

I hear about it. I’ve even been reminding people that ICE went without funding from January to June thanks to DNC refusing every budget where they had any, until Republicans passed a reconciliation budget with simple majority in house and senate. That gap of funding might be why you didn’t hear about it for a little while.

They've always had funding. The more recent budget funds then through 2028.

  Incorrect. The government was in shutdown at the start of this year because funding had already ran out, then it reopened without DHS funding which was later limited to only without ICE funding.

    The One Big Beautiful Bill funded the majority of ICE through the shutdown - some civilian support positions were affected, but enforcement activity stayed pretty much the same. The reduction in coverage is far more likely due to both Noem and Bovino being kicked out of their jobs, taking their high-confrontation tactics with them. Homan is doing the same work, just in a quieter, less confrontational manner.
