    An absolutely bonkers opinion saying that states can't set their own policies regarding participation in mass deportation.

    ICE HSI in FY 2024 spent nearly 4 times as much time on fentanyl investigations as on civil immigration enforcement. In FY 2025 (which included ~3.7 months of Biden), it flipped to ~3.5 times as much time on civil immigration (1.9 MILLION hours) as on fentanyl

    They said it was all fraud, but people kept winning their cases, so they ordered them to be denied, so they could keep saying it was all fraud. Really amazing how that works (and yes, Biden started it)
