The drawdown would leave "around 2,000" immigration agents in a state that normally has closer to 150, Homan said.

So they are withdrawing a bit over 4 1/2 times what is normally there, and leaving over 13 times the usual.

You could also look at it as a 25% reduction as a result of continuing peaceful protest and increasing unpopularity.

Stay on their necks.

Where are they getting redeployed to?

We're thinking Ohio. Los of people in Springfield they want to snatch up, then moving to Columbus.

They need to bolster roles for Central Ohio and Maine. They're shuffling the brown shirts around is all this means.
