Most of ICE's enforcement effort has been directed at people with criminal histories. I suppose we need to know whether he is musing about amnesty for all, or amnesty only for people without criminal histories. Or he is just saying one thing today and another tomorrow, as usual.

Really??
• No Criminal Convictions: 70.6% of current ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, and many of those who do have convictions have committed only minor offenses, such as traffic violations.
• With Criminal Records or Pending Charges: Approximately 29.4% of detainees have criminal convictions or pending charges, though the severity of these records varies widely from low-level offenses to violent felonies.

Seen. I also see that at some point the focus changed away from those with criminal histories, but that was originally the policy.
A policy change could do easily two things at once, though: redirect detention/deportation emphasis back at those with criminal histories and involvement while setting up an amnesty for at least some of the remainder.
With Miller as COS, I doubt Trump will follow through on amnesty. That would have to originate in Congress. The Democrats might try another amnesty-now-for-enforcement-later piece of legislation, but I think Republicans in general have learned that lesson and the ones in the White House could probably convince Trump not to sign it even if he thought he were making some grand gesture that would make him the hero of the movie in his head again.

Pete may be no bundle of laughs, but he cracked on grooming standards. Opinions may vary if that is a good , or bad , thing.
I'm a fan of the US Army Band. Some of the members were gently ribbing one of their own over his new appearance.
