This surge lasted about 70 days, so that's 57 apprehensions a day, not counting people kidnapped and then released and not counting street executions.
Around 2000 agents were deployed. That's an average of 35 agents for one apprehension, per day.

My wife has used Expensify to manage her business's books for years. We only use a small subset of functionality, but we need it, especially at tax time.
They started charging. I used ChatGPT to tell me how to replicate everything we need in a Google Sheet with a Pivot Table. Took 20 minutes.
