The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Has anyone bothered to think about WHY the ICE guys have been able to round up so many p3dos, r@pists, murderers and general ne'er do wells so quickly?

Anyone have a clue?


Hmmm....there's a few options. The most likely is that because even at this moment of peak effort, they weren't getting more total arrests than the average of the entirety of the Biden administration (only a few hundred per day):

Also there's the fact that ICE is also conducting workplace raids, which are resulting in arrests of people who aren't "p3dos, r@pists, or murderers":

However, workplace raids mostly result in the arrests of working individuals who happen to be undocumented.

“None of these people were rapists or murderers or criminals,” Baraka said about the people picked up in the Newark raid.

But perhaps that's not correct. Any stats comparing the number of r@pists or murderers picked up in these raids vs. the average over the Biden era?
