ICE Officer Turns Himself In After Being Indicted For Deliberately Running Over A Random Person

All good things come to those who wait? Maybe. Maybe not. Sometimes, you need to take action to make good things happen. Other times, you just have to hang back and wait for the slow-moving wheels of justice to do their thing. It’s the latter here. Last month, an ICE officer deliberately (allegedly) ran over...

Judge: ICE Officers Can’t Be Trusted And The Only Way To Fix This Is To Put Them On The Stand

We all know ICE officers can’t be trusted. Neither can the agency that heads up most of Trump’s anti-migrant activities. Every murder by immigration officers is immediately greeted with self-justifying lies about “threats” to officers. Every assault gets the same treatment. Every recorded instance of abuse is immediately rebutted by bullshit claims about violent resistance...

ICE Is Now Arresting People Who’ve Been Released From ICE Detention By Court Orders

US federal court have overwhelmingly ruled (10,000 orders and counting) that migrants are — just like natural-born citizens — entitled to constitutional rights. Among them is the right to due process. This means that detained migrants have a right to a hearing to see whether they can be held in custody until a hearing on...

Fifth Circuit Flips Earlier Ruling, Once Again Declares Migrants Have No Due Process Rights

The Fifth Circuit has shown itself to be especially subservient to the Trump administration since his return to office. And it’s certainly not going to rock Trump’s mass deportation boat — not when it’s sitting right on top of Texas, which contains almost two-thirds of the US-Mexico border, as well as some of ICE’s largest...

Latest Drop By Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoS) Contains Contact Info For 40,000 DHS Employees

Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoS) has been steadily pushing the limits of transparency and accountability for several years now. The project — spearheaded by Emma Best — does what other activists won’t… or perhaps simply don’t have the expertise to carry out. DDoS made a name for itself by hitching Best’s non-stop FOIA onslaught to...

DHS Rejects Oversight Recommendation For ICE Body Cam Auto-Activation

It wasn’t until after immigration officers started murdering US citizens that the Trump administration finally agreed to do anything about it. First, Trump turfed Kristi Noem, setting her up with a “special envoy” dead end job (which has also now come to an end). Then it elevated Markwayne Mullin, who first insisted his priority was...

When ICE Makes People Disappear

ICE Officers Who Ran Over Man Were Trying To Arrest Someone Who Had Been Dead For Years

Not that we really needed any more evidence of bad faith by ICE and the officer who decided to drive his car across a city street and into an adjacent parking lot for the apparent sole purpose of running over a fleeing migrant, but here it is anyway. As we covered last week, ICE officers...

DOJ Lawyers Starting To Get Hit With Sanctions, But So Far, It’s Barely Even A Wrist Slap

There's been plenty of talk by judges about imposing sanctions on ICE and DOJ lawyers who have routinely violated court orders and constitutional rights, and straight up lied in court (or allowed agents and officers to lie in court). But not much has actually been done about this. So far, it's mostly been threats of...

Trump-Appointed Judge Calls Out ICE For Lying

This is now as common as breathing. ICE does stuff. Arrested people invoke their rights. ICE shows up in court. The court expresses its anger at ICE's tactics and lies. Thousands of habeas cases filed by migrants have ended with the courts siding with the arrested migrants. It's actually more than 10,000 at this point,...

ICE’s Lies About A Man Officer Ran Over Undone By Footage Captured By Nearby CCTV Camera

Here's something ICE pretends has happened: ICE alleged in a statement that "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." ABC13 reached out to an ICE spokesperson, who said agents were attempting to arrest Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, who was their intended target. ICE alleges Mendoza-Cervantes entered the United States illegally from Mexico five...

Court Filings Show DHS Is Collecting Info On Protesters, Feeding It To Palantir

More evidence is piling up that contradicts the almost-but-not-quite denials given by administration officials in response to allegations about the DHS compiling a database to keep tabs on protesters. Just a few months ago, "Immigration Czar" Todd Lyons was trying to turn credible accusations into a nothingburger by deploying a few vague and trite statements...

We won't know if Trump will try to become President For Life until 2028, but it seems...

Documents Expose Even More About Stephen Miller’s Ghoulish Anti-Migrant Directives

Let's start this off by clearing the air: Stephen Miller looks exactly like the sort of person who wants to elevate white people above everyone else. Sure, he doesn't have the Hitler 'stache or a blond pompadour, but he's the same bit of unspectacular "whiteness" Hitler was. Miller is bald, mostly chinless, and looks like...
