DOJ: Immigration Court Asylum Grants Plummet

NYT: 10,000 ICE Arrests in Five Days

A ‘quieter enforcement campaign’ doesn’t mean fewer aliens will be arrested and deported

Mullin wants less talk and more action on deportation, and the Times notes he’s “pledged to mount a quieter enforcement campaign” than his predecessor. But as the paper’s own reporting suggests, “quieter” doesn’t necessarily equate to fewer arrests and deportations — just less publicized ones. Now, let’s see the results.
