That sounds a lot more similar to what I'm saying, and different than...

I would say I'm open to both possibilities but certainly yours is simpler. Taking my own advice I shouldn't ascribe to malice what can easily be explained by indifference.

That's my main argument.
I certainly wouldn't put a more aggressively nasty attitude past them, but that ironically makes it less likely.
Let's not ignore the literal elephant in the room. Trump has taken the things in a nasty enough direction not a single one of us batted an eye at the thought of these types of deportations being the official policy. It wasn't until over 80 posts in before someone bothered to check.
That tells me they could have just revoked the exception memo, like they've been doing to what seems like most Obama policy. No one would care... or more specifically, as demonstrated by this thread, anyone who would care is already assuming it's his official policy.

This is the shit I'm talking about : https://www.wsj.com/articles/after-2...ted-1491443231
Attorneys for Mr. Beristain had asked an immigration judge to rescind his removal order and to stay his removal. Attorneys had also filed a habeas petition challenging his detention.
But before his cases could be heard by a judge, ICE officials took him from a detention facility in Texas and dropped him off at the U.S.-Mexico border and had him walk across into Juarez, Mexico, his attorneys said in a statement.
Was this SOP under Obama? Or is this ICE of the chain? Would it be reasonable to assume this kind of shit won't stop until they get slapped on the wrist by the judicial system?

*throws another on the pile*
Is Fairfield woman's deportation a sign of things to come?
"As Secretary Kelly has stated, ICE will no longer exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement. All of those in violation of immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest, detention, and if found removable by final order, removal from the United States," Khaalid Walls, a Detroit-based spokesman for ICE, said in a statement.

From what I've read, it should be easy to verify the story one way or the other, so at least for now the jury is still out on this one.

It says they reversed that stance, and he had valid protective status. No verification needed.

Does 5,441 work?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.4dc37c453c05
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 21,362 immigrants, mostly convicted criminals, from January through mid-March, compared to 16,104 during the same period last year, according to statistics requested by The Washington Post.
Arrests of immigrants with no criminal records more than doubled to 5,441, the clearest sign yet that President Trump has ditched his predecessor’s protective stance toward most of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.
In Trump's defense, it appears Obama was just as bad if not worse in his asshole years.
I also think as far as noncriminal percentage of total arrests, its a toss up between 2014 and 2017.
---
Overall, deportations are down by 1.2 percent, to 54,741 in January, February and March, compared to the same period last year. Elzea said it can take time to remove someone from the United States, but the number of noncriminals deported is higher this year, while the number of criminals who were deported fell. Despite his pledge to send criminals packing, Trump has struggled to get countries such as China to take their citizens back.
Advocates for immigrants say they also criticized Obama as the “deporter in chief” and waged a national campaign to create sanctuary cities to shield immigrants from deportation.
But they said Obama sought to avoid deporting longtime immigrants with roots in their communities and American-born children. He also lobbied Congress to create a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and granted work permits to more than 700,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children.
And in a November 2014 memo, Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson restricted immigration arrests mainly to criminals and those who recently crossed the U.S. border, and immigration arrests plunged.
In January, he issued executive orders that made all undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation. In February, Trump’s press secretary said the “shackles” were off immigration and border agents, whose unions backed Trump in the election.

What percentage of that 5,411 qualify for an exception?
Lack of a criminal record doesn't grant the exception. The main vectors are being a minor, or having legal ties to an American citizen (marriage and/or parentage).

I'm under the impression that the bill of goods sold was prioritizing the removal of criminals. That's what this thread has been about since the OP, right?

The bill of goods are people on the exception list getting deported.
The two key stories... the one from the OP, and the one with the woman who voted Trump, were being granted exceptions.
That's what's so ignoble about the deportations, right? They were handed out to people making the ICE check-ins required to maintain the exception.

Okay, that's fair. Though you missed the third example above. The one where they deported a guy before a judge could weigh in.
And of course the guy who was deported but then they said had a legal exception not to be.

This isn't helping: ‘We’ll See’: Sessions on Whether DREAMers Will Be Deported | Law News
Sessions, who appeared Sunday on This Week, reemphasized the president’s policy that deportation will focus on people who commit crimes in the states, but he didn’t think DREAMers should necessarily get more protection from removal.
“So they can rest easy?” host George Stephanopoulos said about young immigrants benefitting from DACA.
“We’ll see,” said Sessions, who pointed out Homeland Security, not the Justice Department, had primary jurisdiction. “I believe that anyone who enters the country unlawfully is subject to being deported. However, we’ve don’t have the ability to roundup everybody and there’s no plans to do that.”
I could see you highlighting the last paragraph as bolstering your case, however.

Well, it's both.
The exceptions are discretionary. The idea they can get yanked isn't new.
In terms of overall policy, I stand by what I said earlier.
There has been no agency wide directive to dispense with the exceptions.
Agents who are otherwise meeting their quota can be as magnanimous with exceptions as they see fit.
Agents who are cocksuckers will be allowed to continue as such as long as they don't get it made into a national story, or violate the prime directive to use resources judiciously.
I'll repeat though, even though this policy is "hands-off", the result will be net **********.
I guess cocksuckers is okay but ********** is not. This is singleist.

Well, if they're discretionary then they could have changed that discretion from erring on the side of letting people slide to erring toward bringing anyone in. Or is that conspiratorial?

My instincts tell me it's conspiratorial.
This directive would need to make its way to thousands of people, pretty much guaranteeing there would be a leak.
Doing nothing is already a negative feedback loop. People with legit exceptions are rightfully scared to check-in with ICE, which can then be used grounds for getting the exception revoked.
However, both of these pale compared to the following: they could have done it publicly, and no one would have been surprised.
The exception is the Trump supporter wife who was roundly mocked. She was mocked because everybody here assumed they had done it publicly.
I keep saying, this thread went on for 80+ posts under the assumption this was their public policy. What is motivating them to do it Secret Squirrel style?

The memo in question is superseded by the exception memos. The memo in question states this explicitly. This is the same memo we've been talking about the entire time.
That the memo says everyone else is fair game isn't under contention.

Exception memo one: DHS (Napolitano) June 2012
Exception memo two: DHS (Johnson) November 2014
Meat memo: DHS (Kelly) February 2017
Edit: and to put this into the context of the original question, the article from the OP references the 2017 memo for the changes in immigration policy, the Trump supporter wife article references the 2017 memo, and the article I "forgot" references the same 2017 memo.
All these articles are discussing the same thing. My response is the same to all of them, which is to reference the earlier memos. The earlier memos are relevant because the first paragraph of the 2017 memo states "these earlier memos are still in effect".

That's an important thing to note, but call me cynical if I'm not surprised if some agents read the Meat memo (available on pornhub) and threw nuance out the window. Lacking nuance, one might see them as contradicting.

Many on the Left have turned rabid and the media is trying to set fire to whatever they can. Their tantrum over losing the presidential election is turning into a war, and I fear many people are going to be killed before long.

As pro-illegal immigrant as I am, I feel my hands get tied once they aggressively declare their status.
Holding up a sign which says "I am illegal" is going to get a call to ICE, and there's nothing I can do about it except suggest they leave the aggression to citizen proxies.

When the "progressive" minority keeps electing elitist assholes, and those assholes constantly ignore the will of the people (presumably for their own good), you eventually end up with someone like Donald Trump being elected. Trump is the pushback, and it'll become much more aggressive (and permanent) if the "progressive" minority doesn't back off.

I feel like the rep calling ICE rather than letting capitol security take care of it is a bit of a dick move.
Multiple democrats assaulting or threatening to is so far over the line I can't believe it. Maybe there's a history here, but that doesn't excuse how much they escalated the situation.

The amount of sympathy I have for the Democrats depends on how legit their story is.
The claim is they believed Rinaldi called ICE because the protesters were Hispanic.
I can see someone losing their shit over that. Especially if the message was delivered in a "ha ha, **** you" kinda way.
Rinaldi is clearly a dick, however if his actual desire was to deport people, that's outside of security's wheelhouse.

You know the progressives are the majority right? And as long as education continues to improve, that majority will keep getting bigger. Thats why Trump hired DeVos.

If progressives were a majority we would have president Sanders.
The left has a population majority, but being left doesn't mean being progressive.

^^ Exactly. Progressives (the far Left) are roughly the same in population as Conservatives (the far Right), but the largest portion of Americans inhabit the middle (liberals, libertarians, centrists) and make up our quite diverse Moderate electorate (myself included).

I like to think of the term literally. If you aren't on the right, you're progressive because you favour progressive thinking over the ass-backwards kind.

We have a term for the left. It's "the left".
Why would we want to make "progressive" mean "the left"?
We need two words which describe both Hillary and Bernie, but no words to distinguish between them?

Considering elections tend to be decided by a handful of states, that implies most people are fairly comfortably settled one way or the other.
As for you, you know I have my doubts about your purported centrism. It feels weird to disagree with someone about their own political belief but I've cited the evidence before, seems pointless to do so again. What I find most interesting is your desire to be thought of as more centrist than your views seem to be. I think you used to be more centrist but you've been swerving rightwards for years now.

You can't get more "ass-backwards" than so-called progressive collectivism. Hence the term the Regressive Left, the unholy spawn of postmodernist idiocy and Marxism.
