Gosh. Normally, I'd have to wait at least a couple of days to follow up on a post, but between my idiot legislature in Florida yesterday and the deportations that started this past weekend, these have the potential to look like chapters of novels just keeping pace with what's happening.
Let's take the flights filled with campers heading back to their homelands.
Yesterday's post was all about Tom Homan and his adventures in Chicago. He even brought along Dr. Phil to document the ride and raids into the gritty Windy City neighborhoods to pick up known illegal criminals, illegals who were snagged during the actions as well, and get them all processed for removal from the country.
...Around 270 people were arrested during the raids, the Economic Times reported, citing journalist Phil McGraw, who was accompanying ICE officials and agents at the arrest sites in Chicago.
The law enforcement groups going in weren't just comprised of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. In every action across the country, they utilized the manpower of many different federal agencies, like the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) types.
In much of the available footage of the different raids around the country, you'll see what agency or bureau the officers belong to prominently displayed on their jackets. It turns out that's by design and has some media outlets butthurt bigly, though I can't imagine why.
They are wearing standard agency supplied gear. It has ICE printed on it just like DEA and FBI.

Wouldn't you prefer to know right off the bat who every single one of the guys in the black jackets are?
Sounds like 'transparency' to me.
Those same jackets were in Colorado rounding up 50 members of the Tren de Aragua gang who were just about to tuck into a big fiesta they had planned. They also snagged a bunch (14) at the same apartment complex that made headlines during the election.
ADIOS
It's weird to think this could have theoretically been done at any point over the past four years...

Over the weekend, the total was over a thousand.
...Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said it made 956 arrests nationwide on Sunday and 286 on Saturday.
Today, enforcement begins in The Big Apple, and newly confirmed Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem is with Homan and the big letter guys.

Buckle up. The NY Post story has lots of photos of the first raids this morning.

Of course, the progressive activists are screaming through the rooftops. Colorado's Jason Crow is talking tough - he won't 'tolerate it' he says.
Okay, big guy.
On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said he was not going to tolerate the Trump administration’s mass deportations of children and families.
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “The Trump administration says this is just the beginning, the opening salvo, if you will. They’ve indicated that one of the next towns could that could be targeted could be Aurora, Colorado.”
...Wallace said, “So what is the list of what you will tolerate and will not for your district?”
Crow said, “Well, I’m not going to tolerate mass deportation of efforts of children and families and people who are striving to start a life here, who want to normalize their status within the United States. We owe those folks. comprehensive immigration reform, because that’s in our best interests of our economy.”
Illinois's porculent Pritzker is being flayed alive for flat-out lying to constituents in order to provoke and instill fear and loathing. I mentioned this incident in my piece yesterday, but the governor had to take it a dramatic fictional step further than the Chicago Public Schools version.
The governor of a major state, @GovPritzker, spreads a false story that undoubtedly scared people —while accusing Trump of “sowing fear”

Pritzker gets community noted
He doesn’t delete the X post or post a reply
And there aren’t many news stories about how Pritzker blew it https://t.co/UHrLEzYn19 pic.twitter.com/lbco03KAc2
And weepy billionaires, who have no concept of what being AMERICAN means anymore, whine about 'their' people' being oppressed...

I think I've got us caught up.
The Air Force is continuing support for the @USNorthernCmd mission to protect the territorial integrity of the United States, including deportation flights.

Pack those planes, loadmasters. It should be easier soon, as POTUS has reportedly set a 1500-a-day target for arrests and removal.
But for God's sake - do keep the cuffs on.
