10. In their ridiculous 7-week campaign in Chicagoland, ICE has arrested around 3600

These 600 are those whose arrest is deemed to have violated a consent decree. The other 3000 are in the wind.

But here's the thing: there are thought to be 175,000-200,000 undocumented people in the Chicagoland area. Even if half of them throw in the towel and self deport, it would take ICE, using the aggressive tactics that have spawned widespread resistance all over Chicagoland, another three years to "clear" the rest at this pace.

Again, that's if half of the total self-deport!

They are massively and definitively failing.
