The Spin

Trump's deportationmove expansion targets sanctuary cities that harbor criminals and undermine American workers. These Democratic strongholds use illegal immigrants to expand their voter base and cheat in elections while robbing hardworking citizens of jobs and benefits. The administration must focus resources on crime-ridden inner cities where radical Democrats protect lawbreakers over law-abiding Americans.

The administration's indiscriminate raids create fear in Latino communities and destabilize local economies that depend on immigrant labor. People shouldn't have to show papers in public in America, and targeting entire industries hurts farmers and businesses who rely on longtime workers. The military deployment against peaceful protesters represents federal overreach that violates state authority.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 20% chance that U.S. ICE will carry out at least twice as many deportations in Fiscal Year 2025 compared to Fiscal Year 2024. according to the Metaculus prediction community.
