This is important.

“According to a House Democratic aide, Democrats on the conference committee asked ICE for a breakdown of the current 20,000 or so in custody — how many are dangerous criminals, and how many are merely longtime residents with no criminal record or who have committed minor infractions, like traffic violations?

“The aide tells me that ICE is refusing to answer that question. ‘We have sought a breakdown of how many people in interior enforcement detention are actually dangerous, but they simply won’t engage in constructively answering,’ the aide said.

“Instead, the aide noted, ICE has responded by saying, in essence, that there’s no point in breaking down those detained, because ‘they’re all dangerous,’ as the aide put it. ‘They want us to believe that people with minor traffic violations are dangerous criminals who should be deported,’ the aide says.

…"Democrats are asking the administration to justify their demand for more detention beds, and say they’re getting nothing serious back.

…"This gets at the much bigger argument here: Democrats don’t want to deport longtime residents and want to refocus resources away from that. [t]rump and Republicans do want to deport as many from the interior as possible, with no regard to their status.

…"To clarify, Democrats are proposing to limit the overall number of detention beds to 35,000 over time. That would include people picked up in the interior and at the border. The Democrats’ proposed 16,500 cap would only apply to detention beds for those picked up in the interior – not to beds for those picked up at the border – and it’s this 16,500 number that’s really at the core of the latest standoff.”

As the article points out, Democrats are trying to edge the focus of deportation to prioritize dangerous criminals, and humanely spare communities from mass disruption.

“Instead, the aide noted, ICE has responded by saying, in essence, that there’s no point in breaking down those detained, because ‘they’re all dangerous,’ as the aide put it. ‘They want us to believe that people with minor traffic violations are dangerous criminals who should be deported,’ the aide says.

ICE continue to be a bunch of filthy lieing pig fuckers all of whom are the single worst kind of scum to ever have UNFORTUNATELY not been aborted before they could INFECT the planet with their existence 

The only good thing any of these bigoted right wing sacks of shit will ever do right in their lives is step into the middle of a busy street without looking both ways and get hit and killed by a bus…because ICE and everyone who has ever been a member of said organisation, along with every snivelling parasite that supports them are fucking oxygen thieves whose very existence is a fucking mistake
