@macacator This is the problem with an ICE recruitment policy that pulled from federal and state prisons -- they aren't used to treating anyone as having constitutional protections.

@macacator ...and the fact that their overall mission is unconstitutional and totally whack

@juliehuz exactly, which makes the decision of how to deal with criminals easier.

@macacator Wouldn't it be cool to end up with a groundswell of support, not only for immigration and immigrants, but also substantial prison reform at the end of all this?

@macacator It would have sounded crazy one year ago -- but when American attitudes shift they SHIFT BIG. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/11/trump-immigration-crackdown-poll-00448342

@juliehuz yup, Florida turning blue is a definite shift. As for prison reform, that's never going to happen in Murikkka if we have billionaire husks still controlling lobbyists and politicians. Prison is big business, literal modern day slavery. They'll never let the go without a massive fight.
