$280M cost is unverified; not a single local estimate comes close. Only 30 violent + 530 minor is unverified: there are no credible sources which confirm these specific figures $9M per capture: not supported by reputable reporting, linking back to the incorrect estimates from earlier.

Shit you’re right, I knew I should’ve checked this *takes back upvote* The city estimates it costed over $200M to the economy and taxpayer money combined. Food assistance, lost wages, lost business revenue, etc

An estimate that enforcement activity caused over $200 million in combined economic impact does not validate the tweet’s claims, because “economic impact” includes projected secondary effects like lost wages and reduced business revenue, not direct federal spending, and it does nothing to substantiate the specific $280 million tax-cost figure, the $9 million per capture calculation, or the detailed arrest breakdown numbers, none of which were sourced or tied to any official report

citing a broad economic estimate without documentation or methodological clarity does not convert unsourced, numerically precise social media assertions into reliable facts.

My pops used to work in federal law enforcement and considering the average agent cost anywhere from 300-500 a day to have out there and there were thousands for months I would not be surprised
