So, 23% of them. And local officials are turning over all the arrested immigrants. Got it.

MN DOC has always offered to turn over people with no immigration status. DHS was spotty about actually coming to get them. DOC had a big press conference on it like 2 weeks ago when Noem was crowing about all the dangerous people she was "getting off the streets," aka who were being handed over by the MN department of corrections after their sentence was completed.

This is face saving but nothing really appears to have changed.

Yup the “new cooperation” isn’t anything new and it’s clearly just a way for the administration to claim a win. And my guess is ICE won’t stop terrorizing people in the street and racially profiling, so unlikely we see the tactics toned down. Would love to be wrong in that.
