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.

The administration has been fairly indiscriminate in who they detain. The CATO Institute took a look at who ICE was grabbing, and found that the majority had no criminal convictions at all, and that barely 7% had any convictions for violent crimes. So there's no particular reason to expect that the compliance rate of the people that they're picking up is going to deviate particularly from the general compliance rate, because they're not concentrating on the "worst of the worst."

As Bill said, they have quotas to meet. Some 600,000 were deported in 2025, short of the 1M target. It's for the enjoyment of the base. They apparently want to see brown people, and the libs that try to protect them, beaten up and deported. Notice that Trump the Perfect Specimen of Manhood, wants to find some pretext to revoke naturalized citizenship and deport people who *did* comply with US immigration law.
