  1. I realized a while ago that if everybody keeps running away from red states to blue states because they didn’t feel safe that the very people they were running away from will be so emboldened that the oppressors will go after them in blue states as soon as they had the chance.

    Congrats. Here we are.

  2. Hmmm let’s see, where are the sanctuary cities? You know, the ones with known massive illegal immigrant populations? What if, and hear me out, they’re targeting known areas that have the highest concentration of illegal immigrants? Wouldn’t that be so crazy?

    So the decisive votes that went red are all in this heat map. I don’t think this is doing what you want it to

  4. Sanctuary policies mean more ICE agents are needed to achieve the same effect. Protests add requirements for ICE agents. More illegals have been deported from Red states than Blue.

    This shows the stupidity. the city of Minneapolis is 10% Hispanic and Dallas is 42% Hispanic. Meanwhile there’s way more activity in Minnesota.

  6. Um, maybe because a large amount of those states have sanctuary cities. This is really not surprising information.

    You’d think they’d go after the large number of immigrants in Miami.

    How are you characterizing “ICE activity”?

    Is that number of deportations? Numbers of arrests? Number of agents employed?

    Texas has a million and a half illegal immigrants and Minnesota has fewer than 100k.

  10. To be fair, Trump doesn’t need as many people to enforce immigration laws in red states. He has helpful/ cooperative local law enforcement.

    I’d be more interested to see the total number of deportations per capita.

    This is just a reflection of states that have „sanctuary“ policies. ICE has deported more illegals from Texas and Florida than anywhere else, it’s just that with local authorities cooperating with them, illegal immigrants are tagged and detained when they come through the system and just held for ICE to come pick them up. This makes it so there is no need for these task forces to do street level operations to track them down. They are just as active in the other states but because it is done through existing channels you never really see them.

    What exactly is this supposed to show? This looks like a completely useless map.

    So major activity in 8 red states (nine if you include Florida, albeit that seems really minor), and major activity in 13 blue states (six of which are New England).

    There isn’t enough of a real correlation here: states that voted Trump are getting hit hard enough by ICE as any blue state on here. This is simply straw grasping based off an existing political narrative and the attempt to further push it.

    ICE does whatever ICE does at the digression of ICE. There is no target on blue states: blue states own most of the major cities, and people, including immigrants and illegal immigrants, reside there.

    More illegals have been deported from red states (primarily Texas and Florida) despite ICE being in more blue states; again, straw grasping on pushing a political narrative.

    ICE majorly needs reform, and it needs to cut down on its’ size and dirty tactics, but this is not the way to go about it. 

  14. This map is misleading and not for the reason you think…it’s just rendered poorly.

    Looking at the map, you would think that Minneapolis is crawling with ICE agents, and Dallas has relatively few. However, if you actually go to the source (icemap.dev) and compare the numbers for Hennepin county (where Minneapolis is) and Dallas county, the numbers for Dallas are several times bigger.

    But that isn’t reflected in the rendering of the map, Minneapolis is blood red while Dallas is slightly pink.

    The icemap.dev map is poorly made. They didn’t scale the points based on zoom level, so a single point covers the entire state when you zoom out.

    Zooming in, the points are over the northeast corridor (Portland ME to DC), Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Portland, the Bay Area, Fresno, LA, San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, and a few that are over no major city.

  16. Well, in the places where corrections participation in 287(g) is common they don’t need to be as active out in the community to pick up illegal immigrants. In the places where they want to ban 287(g) programs or don’t participate ICE is more active because they have to go find and detain the illegal immigrants themselves.

  17. Damn, this comment section is a critical thought graveyard.

    Trump said he’d punish blue states and blue cities. That’s what’s occurring.

  18. That heat map seems really sus to me. The light green (presuming light activity) seems to respect county borders and there’s a few counties in red where some cities are. But then the larger red ares are just large smears not respecting the county borders at all.

    An ICE activity map by state that’s a 1:1 comparison with the map above would be better for this graphic. And county level data of the ICE activity that respects the borders across the map would be more informative on its own.

    Now in fairness, this is also in line with population and population density it seems, unless this is per capita.

    Although saying that, Texas somewhat disproves that point…
