ICE has deported nearly 200K people since Trump returned to office, on track for highest level in a decade
Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported nearly 200,000 people in the first seven months of President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a senior Homeland Security official, putting the federal agency on track for its highest rate of removals in at least a decade but still short of the administration’s stated deportation target.
is it too much to ask for Democrats to solve american citizens' problems, before they crash out over people who choose to come here illegally?

LA City Attorney: Businesses are empty and shuttered. The city’s law enforcement personnel have received countless 911 calls about what, for all intents and purposes, looks like a kidnapping. That’s what it looks like — individuals who will not identify themselves. Sometimes they have badges on their belts, sometimes they don’t.
But the manner in which this is done, and as we learned from Judge Breyer’s opinion, it was an organized series of troops designed to come here and scare people into self-deporting, into doing the federal government’s bidding in ways we have never seen the federal government deploy troops domestically.

Unmarked troops roaming LA, snatching people off the streets—this isn’t “immigration enforcement.”
It’s dictatorship theater, and Trump is the director.

This describes a deeply alarming use of force that blurs the lines between law enforcement and intimidation. The tactics sound more like psychological operations than public safety.
When does aggressive enforcement cross the line into becoming state-sponsored fear campaigns?

South LA woman who claimed she was kidnapped by ICE agents pleads not guilty to federal charges
Sunday, September 7, 2025 6:00AMSOUTH LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A South Los Angeles woman who claimed she was kidnapped by ICE agents pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges.
Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, 41, is charged with conspiracy and making false statements to federal officers, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
During her arraignment Friday, a trial date of October 21 was set.
An attorney representing Calderon's family held a press conference June 30 to announce the woman had been kidnapped five days earlier at a Jack in the Box restaurant parking lot in downtown Los Angeles and brought to San Ysidro, where she was presented to an ICE staffer and handed voluntary self-deportation paperwork.
The attorney said Calderon had refused to sign the paperwork and demanded to speak to a judge and a lawyer.
In response, the lawyer said, "she was punished'' by federal agents and sent to a warehouse in an undisclosed location where she was abused.
Prosecutors said the press conference garnered media attention and stoked fear in the community. Meanwhile, Calderon's daughter set up a GoFundMe page, requesting $4,500 and stating that Calderon "was taken by masked men in an unmarked vehicle ... when she was on her way to work.''
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the entire story was false and designed to generate sympathy and solicit donations.
In July, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement saying the story was created to malign the administration's immigration enforcement efforts.
"Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon was never arrested or kidnapped by ICE or bounty hunters -- this criminal illegal alien scammed innocent Americans for money and diverted limited DHS resources from removing the worst of the
worst from Los Angeles communities,'' DHS said. "Politicians and activist media peddled these smears that were designed to demonize law enforcement and evade accountability. Calderon will now face justice and the media and politicians who swallowed and pushed this garbage should be embarrassed.''
Attorneys for Calderon's family who discussed the case at the press conference did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
On July 3, when Calderon was still purportedly missing, federal agents "grew concerned'' after confirming that Calderon was not in immigration custody, federal prosecutors said, and Homeland Security Investigations personnel began searching for Calderon over the July 4 holiday weekend.
On July 5, agents tracked Calderon down in a shopping plaza parking lot in Bakersfield. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Calderon continued to falsely claim she was taken by masked men and held in custody with others.
Prosecutors said video surveillance -- including images of Calderon leaving the Jack in the Box parking lot and getting into a nearby sedan -- as well as telephone records, bolster suspicions that Calderon fabricated the entire story.
"Calderon and her family knew that law enforcement was searching for her and feared for her safety, but Calderon and her family did not come forward,'' according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Instead, Calderon created what law enforcement alleges were fabricated photos of her "rescue,'' made to look as if she was abused while in federal immigration custody and planned to hold a press conference on July 6 to increase donations to the GoFundMe page and to obtain other benefits, prosecutors said.
If convicted of both charges, Calderon would face up to 10 years in federal prison, prosecutors noted.
Apparantly all of America's problems are due to illegal immigration..
