A bill intended to halt the supposed threat of “organized retail crime” would put ICE in charge of the federal response.

    In 2023, the National Retail Federation, a trade group that supports the bill and whose warnings are cited in its text, retracted a report claiming organized retail crime was responsible for 50 percent of the nearly $100 billion worth of merchandise that went missing in 2021. The true number was found to be closer to 5 percent of that sum.

    5% of 100 billion is who gives a fuck, I didn’t see anything
