Trump was malding over interior migrant raids not being as successful as he hoped, so I imagine this is to help with deportations.

Also expand already ridiculous protections afforded to pigs and prepare the prison system to receive undesireables

Didn't Biden sign a bill at the end of his term that made it much easier to deploy US troops and intelligence units onto US soil to assist with the police? (Yes he did)

Do you know which bill this was? It'll be useful if I come across any "the bad stuff all started with Trump" reddit-logo comments

I can't find it and I can't remember if it was a bill or an EO. I will try to find it because I too need ammo against the libs.

America tries to do the "good cop/bad cop" routine to itself via Biden and Trump but they're both senile shitheads so they end up doing "bad cop/bad cop."
