Thats atrocious if true, and I have no love for trump or ICE, but since this is the DailyBeast I remain somewhat skeptical. And I'm not clicking the link to give them the web traffic.

Anyone want to share the context? Is this really something he did or is it just clickbait editorialization like 85% of what's on that site?

Original reporting source is NYT

Thanks for the better source.

Federal immigration officials have detained more than 10,000 people in the last five days, a major surge that has stemmed from a push within Immigration and Customs Enforcement to increase arrest rates.

Agency leaders in recent days ordered top ICE officials to focus more of their officers’ efforts on picking up immigrants they want to deport, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and interviews with federal officials. ICE officers have arrested people at check-ins with immigration authorities, during traffic stops and on the street. The push has apparently yielded results, with recent arrest numbers roughly doubling from the 1,000 picked up each day earlier this year.

ICE officials were told that the White House wanted an increase in arrests, according to three officials with knowledge of the conversations. One of the officials said that it was unclear how long the pace could continue, but that ICE officials had been told that 2,000 arrests a day was the new standard for enforcement.

The surge has occurred without the fanfare of highly visible operations last year, in which officials announced their intentions ahead of time to target cities, including Chicago and Los Angeles, and send officers pouring into the streets. Markwayne Mullin, the homeland security secretary, pledged to mount a quieter enforcement campaign following the chaos of a monthlong operation in Minnesota, where federal officers killed two U.S. citizens.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Before the election some asshole on Lemmy said if I voted for Harris, I’d have “Palastine blood on my hands.” Well I voted for her anyway because (and I can’t stress this enough) she was the most viable candidate to beat trump, and unlike trump, there might have been a chance to save at least some Palestinian lives.

Well trump won, and it was in part because of those assholes who refused to vote for Harris. The fucker who said that is the one with the blood on his hands.

I am positive that the protest voter campaign was 100% pro-trump. They wanted an Israel victory. Probably paid for by AIPAC.

I always like to point out that ex-slave Frederick Douglas bypassed a candidate who was strong for Abolition in order to work with Abe Lincoln, who was willing to keep slavery if it meant preserving the Union.

Douglas decided it was smarter for him to back the candidate who was most likely to win, in hopes that Lincoln could be persuaded once in office.

Pragmatism is intolerable to extremists.

Any concession is viewed as total defeat.

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 11 points 3 days ago

Except for actual total defeat, which is seen as a 'moral victory.'

See "Spanish Civil War," "The Black Panthers," and "Rosa Luxemburg"

This comment is straight out of the Republican playbook. There's no blame on previous Republicans because they need to shift the narrative away from them. Anyways I'm convinced the left won the vote and voting machines were tampered with.

People should see the change of hands before the election.

edit: dont think this is out of the republican playbook after discourse, going to do more research before i make claims. https://prri.org/spotlight/breaking-down-the-differences-between-voters-and-non-voters-in-the-2024-election/

Oh fuck right off. The 'your vote means nothing anyway' shit is whats actually out of the playbook. Because its pigs like you that continue to blame the Dems for everything and actually ignore the Republicans.

Dumbass trying to pull the 'no u' childish shit for being lazy as fuck.

[-] matthurtme@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Republicans are fascists, Dems are just fascist lite.

I wish Fred Hampton would Jesus himself back and run for President

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

At least some democrats are changing their tune on Israel and these latest primaries are looking good. Hopefully they'll win those protest voters back.

Look at his tiny little hand pointing to where the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES (TM) are hidden.

The pedo felon and his neo-Nazi thugs are making an attempt to boost the numbers for November.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

But this time, as the eyes of the world are trained on the U.S. during the soccer World Cup, there is no fanfare. Last year’s operations were announced in advance and defined by officers pouring into Democratic-run cities. In the summer of 2025, the so-called “commander-at-large” Gregory Bovino racked up more than 5,000 arrests in Los Angeles and over 3,000 in greater Chicago, a campaign that was quickly buried under courtroom humiliations.
