It’s another discrepancy between what White House advisers say and the administration’s legal posture.
Stephen Miller was unequivocal: Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would seek to arrest 3,000 or more immigrants per day, a staggering target that he said was necessary to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
But when federal judges pressed for details about that figure last week, the administration denied any such quota existed. The contradiction came in a lawsuit that alleged the intense pressure to rack up arrests had led ICE to conduct illegal sweeps in Los Angeles.

Damn, they’re actually learning from past mistakes and removing evidence properly.
Not even. I’m sure such a quota existed at some point, even if it was just spoken from Miller (political statements shouldn’t be made idly when you are a part of the levers of state). I feel like this is the state just very clearly lying because everyone in this admin is a fucking rat who can’t say “good morning” without lying twice.
I know it’s typical TACO bullshit but I’m all for it. I’m willing to pretend you never set such a goal if you chill out and stop assaulting and kidnapping innocent people.
