Illegality aside, is this even logistically possible?

I think they'll run out of students to arrest pretty soon at that rate.

Miller and Noem are probably still untouchable for now, but the immigration agents must be held accountable as soon as they make a wrong move. They must be reported and brought to court as soon as they do anything that even smacks of violating existing laws.
They must never have the feeling that nothing can happen to them and many of them certainly don't want everyone to know that they are in the Gestapo.

@w7voa deportation is no longer about expired/undocumented immigrants but now about quotas.

Sounds familiar. This was done before, too.

“We call it ‘quotas’, in Russian they call it limity. Stalin used limity to punish his perceived enemies twice. Once was during collectivization, which began in 1929 and was largely completed by 1932, and he used quotas in the period 1937-38, which was the period of the Great Terror. In each case he divided the Soviet Union into regions and he gave the regional leaders quotas. In the case of collectivization, quotas were how many people to shoot (not terribly many), how many to put in jail (more), and how many to deport to remote regions.”
