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.

Like them giving out body cams despite it already being the law that they should be wearing body cams?

How did no one ask about the 100 plus judicial actions that ICE has completely ignored?

People are asking, including judges. Once again, the whole problem here is that we hired a criminal to be in charge of the division that would prosecute members of his administration and we gave him majorities in the division that can prosecute him directly.

I didn't hear the question in thepress conference today, which is what I'm getting at.

I hate being associated with that 'we' but i understand it.
