Introduction

The US government is sending many immigrants out of the country. They are using new and strict rules.

Main Body

Some leaders disagreed about the plan. They wanted to remove one million people every year. Some officers worried that the government might arrest the wrong people. Later, the government started 'Operation Metro Surge'. Police arrested thousands of people and two US citizens died. These rules hurt the economy. Many businesses closed and people lost money. The government wants cities to help them catch criminals. They are angry at cities that do not help. The government closed an office that watched the jails. Now, more people are hurt or die in these jails. The government wants to build more beds for 100,000 people by 2027. Some people like these rules and some people hate them. President Trump's popularity is changing. Some Hispanic people now like him, but others are afraid.

Conclusion

The government still wants to remove many people and build more jails.

⚡ The Power of 'SOME'

In this text, we see a pattern used to describe groups of people without using exact numbers. This is a key skill for A2 English.

How it works: Use 'Some' + Plural Noun to talk about a part of a group.

Examples from the text:

  • Some leaders → (Not all leaders, just a few)
  • Some officers → (A small group of police)
  • Some people → (A part of the population)

🕒 Time and Future

Notice the phrase: "by 2027".

When we use 'by' with a year, it means "no later than." It is a shortcut to talk about a deadline in the future.
