Regional Enforcement Models

Region Model Characteristics
Midwest Surge operations High visibility, street confrontations, military-scale agent deployment (MN: 2,000+ agents)
Southeast Cooperative enforcement 287(g) programs, jail-based arrests, state legislative mandates. Less visible but highest total arrest volumes
West/Southwest Border + interior blend Camp-based detention, warehouse expansion, cross-state transfers
Northeast Contested terrain Strong state pushback vs. federal escalation; transit targeting; massive facility purchases

Emerging Flashpoints

  2. Camp East Montana, TX — Death cluster + autopsy manipulation = systemic cover-up
