It's actually a far less effective enforcement scheme than even Obama used both in absolute numbers and in priority.

The Trump admin is stuffing the processing queue (which is normally overwhelmed with high-priority cases) with thousands of low-priority cases, which actually has the effect of keeping dangerous people (always been high-priority) in the country longer.

Just what you'd expect from a totally braindead manager. Looks great if you're a malicious moron though!

  • Targeting "innocent" people is the point. It makes sure that nobody wants to come in.

    I agree. The processing should be much faster. The detentions are so stupid, just get them on a plane.

      And what do you call it if you slow down the processing, fill it with innocent people, and also get yourself bogged down in thousands of extremely costly (time, money, and focus) civil rights lawsuits?

      Answer: a very stupid policy.
