Hmmm...

The author attributes this to changes in ICE policy, such as not using fixed bases in cities and the like.

No, it's because this is STILL a big issue with Americans who want these aliens deported, and the powers that be in the Democratic Party and the organizations promoting the conflict are making an operational pause - dropping the radical pose to achiege radical ends. Right now they need relative quiet to get the crazies they have running for Congress elected. They can't have rioting and all the rest on the leadup to this election where so many lunatic fringe candidates are running; the public might actually start looking at who these people are. They can ill-afford that; they need the public focused on kitchen table issues. Out of sight out of mind.

This stuff will come back after the election. I don't care how much ICE changes tactics.

BTW 50,000 a month is peanuts next to the number of illegal aliens here and the aliens know it, which is why they aren't self-deporting. If they KNEW they were going to get caught and kicked out of the country they'd make plans to leave. But think - at this level we'll kick just six hundred thousand out in a year. That's only 1.2 million by the time Trump leaves office - a drop in the bucket.

We need to ramp this up by at least a factor of four.

The Left knows it too which is why they are trying to make this issue go away for now.

We need to start thinking far more strategically. Too many of us swallow the easy answers.
