The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

All that means is you already have x in custody.

Wow, are you FOS.

It means they THINK the local police/jail have x in custody.

"Data on the exact percentage of all inmates in Minnesota jails with ICE requests (detainers) is inconsistent. Recent reports indicate a discrepancy between federal figures suggesting around 1,360, and Minnesota Department of Corrections data stating about 300 individuals in state and county custody have ICE detainers. Over 600 people were transferred to ICE from MN jails last year."

Let's see if YOU can comprehend the arithmetic:

Requested: 1360
In MN jails: 300

300/1360 = 22%.

Far higher than a RWNJ IQ. So, lock up Noem as a documented FAILURE? AGAIN ???

"Conflicting Data: The Minnesota DOC reports that many individuals cited by federal authorities were never in state custody, have already been transferred, or are in other jurisdictions, according to the YouTube video."

"Actual Federal Detentions: According to a New York Times analysis of data from the Deportation Data Project, from Jan. 20 to Oct. 15, 2025, there were only 60 ICE arrests at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone and 18 at Faribault State Prison."

Looks like a good idea to lock Noem up at Sandstone. More of her 'type'? Ask her when she gets out in 40 yrs.
