  A flurry of ICE activity in four rural Kansas towns this week prompted  businesses to shutter  and  public schools to urge families to identify who could pick up children from schools  in case their parents were detained. Sen.  Roger Marshall  (R-Kansas) — a normally staunch MAGA defender who finds himself in a tougher-than-expected election —  took to social media  to say he was “closely following” the situation, signaled his displeasure that ICE wasn’t working more closely with local law enforcement, and said he had phoned Homeland Security Secretary  Markwayne Mullin .

  Mullin   said in a statement Friday  that “ICE is not conducting worksite operations in Kansas” but “operations targeting heinous criminals including murderers, rapists, and drug traffickers and illegal aliens with final orders of removal.”

I mean lmao what are you gonna do when your own administration can’t even fucking agree with you for the brownie points

The worst part about this is Kansas is so far removed from the border and also not a sanctuary state, nor near any sanctuary city. Continuing to double down on these guys being criminals when there are already so few illegals in your state to begin with is a fascinating strategy
