Has Mass. dodged an ICE showdown?

Reading this WSJ story about President Trump reportedly telling his inner circle that some mass deportations went too far, I started wondering if Massachusetts would ever see a Minnesota-like flood of ICE agents in these parts – or anything close to that anti-immigrant campaign. At this point, it sure doesn’t look like it. … Of course the president is known for changing his mind on a whim. So it may be a case of only a temporary reprieve for Mass. … Maybe after the president finds a way to extricate the U.S. from the mess he made in Iran?

Update – 3.22.26 — Another sign that policy/tactics might be changing. From NYT: “Mullin Explored Bipartisan Deal to Rein in Immigration Crackdown” (NYT)
