The whole point of their ICE deployment strategy is to generate a lot of buzz while accomplishing very little.
That's an effective strategy when you are running with a small handful of men versus tens of millions of targets. You hype things up, increase the fear of them, and make these people either self deport or go into hiding. My town has like 6 ICE agents who've done very little beyond paperwork, but the notion of "they could be coming for us next" has made notable differences in the overt illegal population. Businesses are now running on fumes, apartments are empty, and even roofing projects left half finished.
Again, we could be doing a lot better, but I think the reality of it is a lot better than we all think.
An effective strategy would be to focus on red states first where the governments should be expected to fall in line or get run over. Take the low hanging fruit to get as many deported as possible.
Well ICE is not the only people capable of arresting lawbreakers. Red States should be already allowing and empowering their own officers to have begun doing so and then sending the half done job to them to finish.
Which I've seen dozens of clips out of Louisiana just this weekend of that literally happening, with local PD providing escorts and cover for ICE operations. So clearly what you want is already in progress, and its just not dramatic enough to reach headlines you see.
Also, like I said initially. The Somali situation barely reached anyone's radar a month ago, and its an entirely different beast that becomes more massive by the day in terms of entrenchment and corruption covering for it. It does need a different strategy, and I'm hopeful they have one.
The one I saw was in Kenner, which is a whole parish over from New Orleans.
It might be a lead in to tackling New Orleans itself soon, but honestly that would be a very bad idea with Mardi Gras season coming soon. They'd be better off heading up to the Shreveport area until March. But that's just my personal opinion off what I know.

They don't look very scared.

Aren't they specifically going into New Orleans?
