When did ICE start reporting to Trump?
And no, MAGA does not really require "quotas", they see progress being made and celebrate the removal of illegal people.

MAGA's misdirected anger and disinformation are to be continued by Trump because he needs them. The quotas were promised to MAGA by Trump. It's all he has left as he is failing in every other campaign promise. Look here, not over there.

Its just wanting to keep your country safe and hey, if these people are here illegally AND they are committing crimes, what exactly is wrong with deporting them exactly?!
People like me that paid thousands of dollars and many years of stress to get our loved ones here legally support UPHOLDING THE LAW.
But yeah, call it hate.
SMDH.
So it's not xenophobia when you parrot Fox News xenophobia? You forgot the goose-eating Haitians BTW. And because rapist Mexicans were your go to I have to minimize the rest of what you say. Even the valid things.
I am more concerned about the much higher percentage of suburban white boy rapists to be honest.
Now you're second point, that's the only group I feel has a right to be resentful. The immigrants who went through the proper immigration channels to come here have a right to be resentful towards the one who didn't. And they don't need sensationalized bullshit for it to be valid either.
But I'm not an immigrant. I was born here and no longer feel that is anything too special. Pride of country is eroded. Less and less worth fighying for. Were just authoririan neo-nazis now. At least to the world that should matter.
I don't like that we're "nationaliste arrogant" and I'm thinking we should return to sender that oxidized copper thing in New Jersey.

Im just pulling videos related to the general topic, but only in Los Angeles and New Jersey were there incidents of persons trying to stop Federal officers from enforcing a lawful order. I have no problem with city and state officials bitching about the process but I don;t appreciate them supporting more lawlessness
Here's a list of the States and cities where ICE raids only, Los Angeles had violent protests, and NO DOUBT it's being played up because of it being in the city of Los Angeles
Reported Locations of ICE Raids and Enforcement Operations- New York City, New York
- Details: ICE operations began on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, with agents targeting parts of Manhattan and the Bronx. Over 20 arrests were made, including Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, an alleged leader of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, wanted for kidnapping and burglary. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem joined early morning raids in The Bronx, where at least 18 other undocumented immigrants were detained, including a suspect reportedly on the FBI’s list of suspected terrorists.
- Context: The New York City Police Department had a limited role, present at the scene but prohibited by state laws and local policies from participating in civil immigration enforcement.
- Chicago, Illinois
- Details: Operations started on Sunday, January 19, 2025, targeting individuals with criminal records, including charges of murder and aggravated sexual assault. Chicago, a sanctuary city, saw aggressive ICE activity, though local police did not participate.
- Context: Mayor Brandon Johnson criticized the Trump administration’s approach, emphasizing the city’s commitment to protecting civil and human rights.
- Miami, Florida
- Details: Raids unfolded on Sunday, January 19, 2025, with ICE arresting individuals across South Florida, including in Broward and Martin counties. Among those detained were a Nicaraguan national with pending charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a Jamaican national charged with possession of oxycodone and other offenses.
- Context: The Homeland Security Investigations office in Miami highlighted “excellent collaboration” with the Justice Department to enforce immigration laws and ensure community safety.
- Los Angeles, California
- Details: On Friday, June 6, 2025, ICE, alongside the FBI, DEA, and other federal agencies, conducted raids at three locations in central Los Angeles, including two Home Depot stores in the Westlake District, a doughnut shop, and Ambiance Apparel in the Fashion District. Approximately 44 people were administratively arrested for immigration-related offenses, and one person was arrested on an obstruction charge.
- Context: Local officials, including Mayor Karen Bass, condemned the raids as sowing terror and disrupting safety. Protesters gathered outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, where detainees were processed, leading to tense confrontations.
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Details: On Tuesday, January 21, 2025, ICE raided a car wash in the Juniata Park neighborhood, detaining seven people, according to the immigration rights group Juntos.
- Context: The school district publicly denied false claims of ICE agents entering schools, highlighting the spread of misinformation.
- Phoenix, Arizona
- Details: Raids were reported in late January 2025, with ICE targeting apartments and pulling over vehicles, primarily affecting Hispanic individuals. The Phoenix DEA office assisted the Department of Homeland Security in these efforts.
- Context: Operations were part of a broader crackdown, with photos of officers in law enforcement vests shared by the DEA.
- Houston, Texas
- Details: Raids occurred over the weekend of January 25-26, 2025, at businesses known to employ undocumented labor. ICE, alongside other federal agencies like the FBI and ATF, conducted operations in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Laredo.
- Context: Social media posts highlighted local sentiment, with some calling the raids unfair.
- Newark, New Jersey
- Details: On Thursday, January 23, 2025, ICE detained several workers, including a U.S. military veteran, at Oceans Seafood Depot. This was described as a routine operation following a tip about employees without legal status.
- Context: Mayor Ras Baraka condemned the raids, stating Newark would not stand by while people were “unlawfully terrorized.”
- Boston, Massachusetts
- Details: During a monthlong operation named “Operation Patriot” in May 2025, ICE and federal partners arrested 1,461 illegal aliens, with over half (790) having significant criminal convictions or charges, including murder, rape, and drug trafficking. Arrests included a 55-year-old Salvadoran national in Lynn with an Interpol Red Notice for aggravated homicide and a 32-year-old Guatemalan national in Roxbury charged with sexual offenses.
- Context: The operation targeted transnational organized crime and gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.
- Tallahassee, Florida
- Details: On May 29, 2025, ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations served multiple search warrants as part of an ongoing investigation, with raids occurring near Florida State University’s campus. The operation involved ICE, the Florida Highway Patrol, and other agencies, detaining 12 suspected undocumented immigrants in Jefferson County.
- Context: Social media posts noted agents in military gear, raising concerns about the optics of the operation.
- Nantucket Island, Massachusetts
- Details: On May 27, 2025, ICE raided the island, collecting undocumented immigrants for deportation.
- Context: Social media questioned how individuals ended up in one of New England’s wealthiest areas.
- Other Locations
- States and Cities: Additional raids and arrests were reported in:
- Texas: San Antonio, Austin, Laredo, Dallas (84 arrests in the metropolitan area), and Eagle Pass, where three Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested.
- Utah: Salt Lake City, where a Mexican national was arrested for aggravated sexual abuse of a child.
- California: Alhambra, with activists warning undocumented immigrants to resist during a raid.
- Minnesota: Cristofer Alexander Ramirez-Olivia was detained following a conviction for 3rd-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
- Maryland: Arrests occurred as part of broader operations.
- San Juan, Puerto Rico: Federal authorities acted, but municipal entities did not support the efforts, as confirmed by Mayor Miguel Romero.
- Denver, Seattle, and Smaller Cities: Targeted operations were noted, though specific details are less comprehensive.
Key Observations- Scale and Focus: ICE reported 956 arrests on January 26, 2025, and 1,179 on January 27, 2025, with a total of over 4,500 since January 16, 2025. The Trump administration has emphasized targeting undocumented immigrants with criminal records, such as gang members, murderers, and drug traffickers, but concerns persist about the detention of non-violent individuals and those with legal permits.
- Sanctuary Cities: Operations have targeted sanctuary cities like New York City, Chicago, and Newark, sparking criticism from local leaders and immigrant rights groups.
- Misinformation: False reports of ICE raids at schools, hospitals, and workplaces (e.g., Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston) have fueled panic, prompting advocacy groups to urge communities to seek verified information and know their rights.
- Federal Collaboration: ICE has worked with agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, and Customs and Border Protection, expanding the scope and visibility of operations.
Los Angeles County: Home to over 40% of California’s homeless (75,500 in 2023, up from 69,144 in 2022, a 9.2% increase). Unsheltered numbers rose 14% in Los Angeles CoC.
San Joaquin County: Saw a dramatic 100% increase in total homelessness and 160% in unsheltered from 2022 to 2024, though data inconsistencies raise questions.
Kern County: Homelessness grew 67%, with unsheltered up 128% from 2022 to 2024.
San Diego County: Total homelessness rose 3% (10,264 in 2023 to 10,605 in 2024), with unsheltered up 18%.
Bay Area: Grew 6% to 38,891 in 2024, with declines in Alameda and San Francisco’s unsheltered counts.
Declines: Nine counties, including Contra Costa (-29%), Sonoma (-38%), and San Jose/Santa Clara (-4%), saw unsheltered decreases, and Riverside reported a 63% drop in total homelessness since 2023, though this may reflect methodological changes.

Maybe the politicians are more diplomatic-like, but the people are saying the same thing in the same vein.
As for the "Death to Amerrikka" graffitti. Here's a related song to Death to Amerrikka.
It may be the time for the states to fracture off from that 'United' thing and the American nightmare.
Lyrics: My currency is bloodshed
Wild West alive and well
Down the falling axes
Send the enemy straight to Hell
Heaven mandate reign supreme
Adrenochrome American dream
Fucking pigs won't waste themselves
They learn the cost of being free
The side you love, the one you hated
Surveillance state incorporated
If it's the end of my empire
I wanna be the last survivorDo you care where you go when you die?
(Tried to tell you)
Death, American as apple pie
Another tragedy I forgot
(A bridge to sell you)
While we dance in the total system rotI can't believe anything you say
Since the last revolution that you tried to fake
Who's right? What's left? American deathSo when they come to claim
The day the bill comes due
With righteous foreign hate
Sum of all your fear come true
(Fulfilling history prophesied)
And when he plunge my chest with his knife
I'll look that dirty bastard dead in his eye
And say I had a fucking beautiful lifeI can't believe anything you say
Since the last revolution that you tried to fake
Who's right? What's left? American deathDon't believe a word you say
Do you think you're better than me?
I'm Kaczynski, Capone, and Kennedy
I'm the goddamn American dreamWho is right?
And what is left?
There's only American death
Fuck
Just another American deathGoI can't believe anything you say (you say)
Since the last revolution that you tried to fake
Who's right? What's left? American deathI can't believe (I can't believe) anything you say
(You say) I got a fuckin' bridge to sell you
Since the last revolution that you tried to fake
Who's right? What's left? American deathJust another American death
