On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Homan said a significant drawdown has been underway this week, and will continue into next week. The move follows what Homan calls “extensive” engagement with officials and greater cooperation with local law enforcement and access to jails.

Centrist Dems would love an excuse not to pick this fight, and a year of highly visible bullshit being out of the news will help them.

I suspect this and the (alleged) drawdown in Minneapolis is at least partially motivated by an attempt to get ICE out of the news so if the Dems win the House, the heat to abolish ICE will be dissipated

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.
