If the GOP didn't feel those who don't subscribe to their ideology—in Texas—breathing down their necks, they wouldn't be this desperate. People need to remember that after Gov. Ann Richards, the GOP took over via cheating, & the Corp-DNC hasn't invested tangiblly in Texas since; they've forgone us.

Worth noting that this data came straight from the Republicans. In other words, from the party that voted for the budget-busting Big Awful Bill that has ballooned the deficit.

Remember when Trump and Musk promised to cut government spending by $2 trillion?
Instead, in the first year of Trump's term the US national debt increased by $2 trillion. That's over $71,500 per second.

"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

To this day they have provided no evidence to support this claim.
In real science, when a statement of such magnitude is made, having evidence to support it is crucial.
