ICE holding facilities hit 125% of their authorized capacity earlier this month. The countdown to the White House declaring a crisis because the courts keep objecting to them breaking the law on forced removals is well underway. It's deliberate.

Remember: One of the few things DOGE "accomplished" was firing 18 immigration judges in February, then convincing another 29 to take severance in March -- a 6%+ reduction of judges already facing severe case backlogs. Classic MAGA: Worsen a crisis, then demand extraordinary power to "fix" it.

Make things bad enough so that “extraordinary measures” are the only logical solution to the “problem”.
