The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

It’s a little known fact, but there are genuinely not that many planes available for deportation to be carried out on. ICE doesn’t have its own fleet of aircraft. It contracts with private companies to provide charter air service. And there aren’t that many unbooked airplanes + crew floating around.
A private jet known as “Trump Force Two” which was used to transport JD Vance during the election is now being used to deport migrants to Central America, records show

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.
UPDATE — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has now commented on the Trump admin’s detaining & attempted green card revocation of a Columbia Gaza encampment student negotiator:
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

Shout-out to all those hard-nosed, law-respecting, do-what-it-takes cops and prosecutors who didn't do a thing about it.

This is another example of why I'm radicalized against prostitution laws: they're only ever used to prosecute poor women and the victims of sex trafficking.

Do… do they not realize that deporting people to third countries ALSO requires diplomatic negotiations and govt and take?

No country in the hemisphere is going to take tens or hundreds of thousands of people without a massive payout from the US.
“But sending them back to China would involve diplomatic negotiations that would be likely to require give and take. Another possibility Trump advisers are weighing involves deporting people to third-party countries.”
