Donald Trump and his top advisers have set aggressive goals for deporting historic numbers of immigrants.
But “the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History,” as Trump described it, requires officers — lots of them.
Far more, it turns out, than Immigration and Customs Enforcement has on staff.

One thing that frustrates me with these "crime drops" stories, which feel like press releases, is they wholly attribute changes to direct policy choices, without also questioning if there are other statistical correlations at play.
(For example, cities will see a drop in certain types of crime when their age distribution changes. e.g crimes mostly committed by people aged 20-29 might drop if there's a drop in the proportion of people aged 20-29.)

Brazil dismantles hundreds of illegal dredges in Amazon mining crackdown
Brazilian police with support from Interpol have destroyed 277 dredges used in illegal gold mining along the Madeira River in one of the largest coordinated crackdowns in the Amazon. The raids targeted criminal networks behind environmental crimes and were supported by officers from six Amazon countries. Authorities collected forensic samples to trace pollutants, while follow-up investigations aim to dismantle the illicit gold trade’s financial networks.
