"worst of the worst"
https://www.cato.org/blog/new-data-p...ato-report-iceThe share of criminal convicts arrested by ICE has halved over the last year, from a weekly average of 59 percent this time last year to just 27 percent for the week ending October 15, 2025. Even if we look at ICE’s preferred measure, the share of ICE arrests without criminal convictions or even pending charges rose from just 14 percent to 47 percent, comparing the same weeks in each year.
The number of arrests of individuals without criminal convictions has risen by 585 percent year over year, and the number of arrests of people without criminal convictions or criminal charges has increased by 1,200 percent. This is the true measure of the opportunity cost, as ICE has a significantly larger budget. It could be sending more agents to track down the nearly 500,000 immigrants who ICE claims have criminal convictions and are removable, but it apparently prefers to grab easy targets to meet arbitrary arrest quotas.
As noted in our original report, the broad outlines of these facts were already confirmed by publicly available DHS data on the population currently detained by ICE (69% no convictions) and removed by ICE (70% no convictions).
Despite this manifest change in priorities, the administration continues to claim that it is arresting “the worst of the worst.” But in January, the president ordered ICE to stop prioritizing people based on their level of public safety threat. In May, the White House further ordered ICE to stop focusing on criminals or even specific people and just go out on the streets and arrest people, which has led to its demographic and racial profiling program.
Given these policies, it is no surprise that ICE has become much less focused on people with criminal histories, especially people with serious, violent criminal histories. Arrests of criminal convicts have increased, but only because DHS has diverted so much of the rest of the federal and state criminal law enforcement from active criminal investigations to arrest immigrants indiscriminately. As the New York Times reported in multiple pieces last month, federal criminal law enforcement is ignoring its basic tasks to conduct mass deportations, including by letting sex traffickers go free.
If you caught snippets of MSM and conversely- FOX - propaganda coverage of this latest show - watching some of this is sobering as - as to where this hole country is now...
aside from the laughs...it is sobering that MSM & FOX had to scramble to concoct an "alternate reality" and "all is normal" narrative just to pretzel themselves as "honest brokers" of news/journalism/reporting...
while these oklahoma hicks basically deconstructed it and exposed it all in a few minutes of straight observation of the show...
and it is so sobering and depressing to see how ed we are and how long it will take to undo this destruction of our world standing and basically - cuts our legs as americans of
EVER EVER EVER - having the high moral ground against anyone on the planet that makes fun of us for being this stupid and allowing this kunt to sit in the oval - absolutely depressing;
is Trump capable of standing for public announcements?

not 100% fair to blame Trump for everything, but that's what 37% of Trump voters are doing according to the linked poll

The federal offices are back open and hundreds of thousands of federal workers have returned to work after the longest shutdown in history. But nothing is back to normal - federal workers say morale and trust in leadership are at an all-time low, tensions are high between furloughed staff and those who worked through the shutdown, schedules are slipping and projects are being pushed back, and more people are accelerating their retirement plans or leaving federal service altogether.
The recent shutdown, however, has just exacerbated the existing problems and added to what federal workers described as an already extremely trying year for the federal workforce.
"As if morale wasn't already non-existent, it sure is now. I expect a surge of people to (quiet) quit and I expect the remaining players to be bombarded with work with no support or guidance from leadership," one employee told Federal News Network. "The mission is dead. Operations are barely running. Morale is toast," another federal worker said.
Promises made, promises kept
not sure who's running the scoreboard, but it seems like a lot of DOJ indictments are getting no-billed if they don't drop the charges first, and the latter is happening a lot too

Russ Vought's promise
Promises made, promises kept
Trump didn't promise to make government workers miserable that I recall, Trump distanced himself from Vought last year
time was, federal prosecutors usually didn't bring cases they thought they would lose
the political urgency to smite Trump's enemies seems to have resulted in lower standards for prosecution and worse results in court
What was the actual promise Trump made?
Promises made, promises kept
he's vibing, you can't pin him down with words
