The immigration bust in Colorado was a bust, if you judge it by the feds' own goals and the results announced by Fox News. Both Fox News and the Trump administration blamed local media for the lack of success. #copolitics www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T-W... - ThreadSky

Trying to convince people they’re doing more than they really are. But they were caught.

Has anyone asked exactly how many they arrested are criminals? Supposedly that was the target.

tizmarcomania.bsky.social•16 days ago

I am glad that they had a bust. All they are doing is separating families.

Shoddy preparation gets shoddy results. Maybe proper investigations and obtaining warrants would be the smarter choice.

rockymountviews.bsky.social•16 days ago

It's all about putting on a big show.

stealthisbook.bsky.social•16 days ago

I don't know which is worse- they're a bunch of thugs blindly going on a lawless rampage, or they've conducted investigations and pulling this despite a lack of evidence because they have to meet the quota

semifluent.bsky.social•16 days ago

I mean, yay local media.

leslieluluwho.bsky.social•16 days ago

It's not media, it's community. ✊

Kyle - why are these federal agents covering their faces while they are on the clock wasting taxpayer money?

thanksihateit603.bsky.social•16 days ago

Very successful at wasting money though!

herculedupin.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well come on, Kyle! Get that tac vest on and get in there, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Both Fox News and the Trump administration blamed local media for the lack of success." In that case, thank you for your work, as always.

grantdenn.bsky.social•15 days ago

What an Orwellian statement.

theresistanceco.bsky.social•16 days ago

Some people are just really bad at their jobs. Doesn’t take much to be smarter than a fed these days. The bar is the lowest it’s ever been.

gwyatt.bsky.social•16 days ago

Of course they would blame the media. Fascism 101.

leiao.bsky.social•16 days ago

They should arrest and deport Melania and Barron on tv - the ratings would be through the roof!!!

plainsmtslakes.bsky.social•16 days ago

Sounds like a huge waste of time and resources!

goobermunch.bsky.social•15 days ago

This is emblematic of magical thinking.

“There millions of dangerous undocumented people, we need to do sweeps.”

Do sweeps. Fail to turn up promised people.

“Someone must have tipped them off!”

fabedk.bsky.social•16 days ago

They won’t blame their own incompetence as usual but great to see local journalists shine a light on this disgusting stunt.

terryalfredo.bsky.social•16 days ago

Is there any way to put a price tag on what these stunts are costing the taxpayer?

thesw1mmer.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well there was a recent posting on ICE employees that they're working $21/h, so (21*hours)*agents at minimum.

Some others have done the math on the cost of incarceration.

thanksihateit603.bsky.social•16 days ago

Don’t forget all the tanks and other wasted equipment.

terryalfredo.bsky.social•16 days ago

That and then the processing time. Always wild this is an area that's exempt from 'how much does it cost?' or 'Is it net profitable?'

blaster8645.bsky.social•15 days ago

Don't forget overtime. I doubt these agents aren't working a normal 40 just from paperwork, so every excessive "raid" could be overtime.

humeancondition.bsky.social•15 days ago

"Leaks from local media." That's not how a leak works.

drsoup34.bsky.social•16 days ago

Or, alternatively, you have to be pretty resourceful just to get to this country and then to survive as an undocumented person. In fact, you probably experienced this type of government f*ckery back in the old country and know to keep on your toes

yerchieboy.bsky.social•15 days ago

Makes me appreciate my local media.

rockymountviews.bsky.social•16 days ago

They were going through apartment buildings knocking on doors.
Someone must have reported that a lot immigrants are living in these apartments.

soniadadafan.bsky.social•16 days ago

Ha! Ha! I just scrolled to this post as my time-delayed viewing of The Rachel Maddow show got to this story...kudos to the lady with the coffee cup cursing out the ICE agents in her apartment complex's parking lot. To quote Rachel, "Not all heroes wear capes." 🗣☕️😁👍

confectioner.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oh, I thought she said crepes? Capes makes far more sense.

soniadadafan.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oh great, now I want crepes! 😋🤭

xenasmom.bsky.social•15 days ago

Good! Hope media and citizens keep shouting to the rooftops where they are and where they might plan to be so their “raids” continue to be unsuccessful.
