Gang members and violent criminals, what Trump called the “worst of the worst,” weren’t the sole target of deportations. Federal agents needed to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens,” Miller told top ICE officials, who had come from across the U.S., according to people familiar with the meeting.

Agents didn’t need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice, Miller said. Instead, he directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven convenience stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out on the streets of Washington, D.C., and arrest 30 people right away.

U.S., President Trump was falling short of the number of daily deportations carried out by the Biden administration in its final year.

I hate the media. The framing of that sentence, that Biden was better than Trump at being a fucking fascist, is good.

Everything that’s necessary to say about Stephen Miller would probably get people disappeared. And it’s all true
