ICE deployments created chaos for cities and cost them millions, NPR analysis finds

[Dulcinea]

(NPR) Immigration and Customs Enforcement deployments to American cities are a central part of President Trump's immigration crackdown. Yet, according to data analyzed by NPR — and interviews with law enforcement and city officials — these actions stretched local police departments thin, disrupted businesses and left city budgets struggling to absorb the fallout.

In Los Angeles and Minneapolis, the immigration enforcement surge resulted in ballooning overtime costs for local police. In Portland, Ore., decreased police manpower contributed to longer call response times.

Amid what the Trump administration has dubbed Operation Metro Surge, businesses in cities like Bloomington and St. Paul, Minn., lost revenue, experienced unrest, and were similarly left with high bills.

Major disruptions in centers of commerce (cities) while draining the treasury was crucial to pootin's plan.

3. aircraft fuel is through the roof, TSA personal had a 40% "sick" out last weekend (they are now understaffed)

now we have the ice goons, who are grossly undertrained in so many things but especially this task.

the airline industry is about to suffer a massive hit. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the smaller airlines go belly up.

everything the orange pedo touches...
