Exactly, a misdemeanor. Not the gangsters he claimed he was going after. That's my point. He said he was going after the hardened criminals, but how rarely that's been happening, it seems they're actually avoiding them and going after innocent people who came here legally.

Edit: they're specifically avoiding the real gangs because they're cowards.

They are 100% avoiding the actual criminal elements; why would an ICE officer risk his life to fill a quota if a bunch of guys with guns are worth the same amount as somebody's nana who bakes food for church picnics etc?

The tariffs are also like basic income for international crime gangs; smuggling commercial goods is now a very valuable business. Why fight like the anti drug authorities when you can just buy a bunch of shit off the shelf and run it over the border posing as a spacex employee or something?
