I can’t speak for every city, but I can speak to what’s happening here in LA.

ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members or dangerous criminals. They’re targeting the vulnerable, the easy pickings. Gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. People just trying to survive. Because it’s quick money and low risk.

Folks need to stop pretending ICE is cleaning up crime. That’s not what’s happening. You’ve seen the video of the man beaten by ICE. Now listen closely to the details.

4. How much bounty are each ice-off receiving per target?

Is this why Krusti Gnome is running out of money?

5. Nothing new in that.

The cops have always focused on the easy targets. Because, see, easy.

It's easy to arrest hookers and drunks. Not so easy to arrest people who are armed to the teeth. It's not who gets arrested; it's the number of arrests that counts.
