DHS Starts Dicking Around After Blowing Past Its Deadline For ICE Body Cam Rollout

In what was a severely belated response to acts of violence by immigration enforcement officers, "Border Czar" (who seems far more interested in raiding inland cities than patrolling the border) Tom Homan assured the nation that all ICE officers would soon be wearing body cameras. The only holdup, he said, was a lack of funding....

Appeals Court Rejects ICE Detention Policy, Comparing It To WWII Japanese Internment

Ever since Trump's return to office, almost every federal law enforcement agency has been ordered to treat illegal immigration as their first priority. This is why the administration is gutting FEMA to direct more dollars to detention and removal efforts. And that's why ICE is now the administration's largest law enforcement budget line item. To...

Research Shows ICE Raids Are Killing Local Economies

Contrary to the "worst of the worst" posturing presented by the Trump administration, it's long been known that immigrants (both legal or otherwise) commit fewer crimes than natural-born US citizens: Our consistent finding is that legal immigrants have the lowest incarceration rates, followed by illegal immigrants, and that native-born Americans have the highest. Illegal immigrants...

ICE Arrests Ramp Up, Which Only Continues To Prove Most Migrants Aren’t Criminals

Public furor is hard to maintain. It takes a concerted effort from people who have a lot to lose. Not only do they not have anything to gain (financially or otherwise) from engaging in protests, but they face the real possibility of arrests, job losses, beatings, or actual death. On the other hand, the Trump...

Minneapolis ICE Observer Sues DHS For Its Retaliatory Stripping Of His Global Entry Status

The lowest common denominator administration continues to roll. It doesn't care what's legal or what's proper. It just does what it wants because the shittiest people are in it and its basest of voter bases will feverishly clap their sweaty hands together in applause whenever it does whatever it wants to do. It will be...

DOJ Fired Prosecutor, Blocked Assault Charges Against ICE Officer Following Minneapolis Shooting

Let's start out with the obvious (and obviously heartbreaking): this is not related to the multiple times ICE officers have murdered people. Those officers still remain at large and the DOJ and DHS have shown absolutely zero interest in following up on those cases. In fact, when any local agency attempts to do so, they're...

ICE Officer Hit With Federal Charges After Successfully Dodging Minnesota’s Attempt To Extradite Him On Assault Charges

One of the natural side effects of flooding the zone with hastily hired, poorly trained immigration enforcement officers is an increase in violence and rights violations. Christian Castro may not have been a new ICE hire, but he'd been there long enough to realize the new White House boss had given him and his fellow...

ICE’s Vetting Standards Are So Low It Can’t Even Be Bothered To Verify The Identities Of New Hires

A whistleblower report delivered to the DHS Office of the Inspector General makes it clear ICE is willing to hire pretty much anyone who applies for the job. Keeping up appearances (and by "appearances," I mean constantly pushing for 1,500-3,000 arrests per day) is tough when you don't have the warm bodies to do all...

Working With ICE Is So Toxic, ICE Is Now Offering Liability Insurance To Local Police Officers

If you're worried about the bad optics of working with ICE, the federal government is here to help subsidize your recovery from mass deportation conjunctivitis. If you're worried about the personal negative side effects of buddying up to ICE's masked kidnapping squads, the administration is here to assure cops that it might cover some of...

DOJ Issues Memo Saying There’s Nothing Illegal About The Military Arresting Migrants

A little more than a year ago, the Trump administration pushed a novel legal theory in order to juice its migrant arrest stats. It was a two-part process. First, the administration unilaterally declared expansive areas near US military bases to be "national defense areas." This meant that areas surrounding bases -- like (especially) Fort Bliss...

ICE Finalizes Stun Glove Purchase, Claims There’s No Other Way To Handle ‘Violent’ Migrants

This was inevitable. ICE has billions of new money to spend, zero shame, and not a single adult in a leadership position capable (or willing!) to talk the agency off the ledge. ICE decided the neat new tool of cruelty it absolutely had to have were gloves that behave like stun guns or low-powered Tasers....

ICE, CBP Officers Prefer To Sexually Assault Children When Committing Crimes

The "worst of the worst" are coming for the "worst of the worst." Of course, this administration has completely given up on this pretense, despite sending out lots of noisy messaging otherwise every time an immigration officer murders a person. For the entirety of Trump's anti-migration surge, it's been obvious that it's all about expelling...

Administration Escalates Deportations To Haiti As Violent Gang Attacks Escalate In Haiti

I can't assume the Trump administration hoped this would happen. But I can't believe no one in the administration (Trump, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan) isn't secretly thrilled that this has happened. The administration managed to revoke temporary protected status for Haitian refugees in America, a decision that affects nearly 350,000 people. The revocation of this...

ICE Tries, Fails To Illegally Raid An Immigration Law Office; Settles For Empty Threats Instead

The thing about raiding law offices is that they tend to be filled with people who actually know the law. A bunch of opportunistic ICE officers thought they might be able to talk their way into an illegal search, but that initiative (is that the word for this?) died out almost immediately when the interloping...

Trump Threatens Think Tank With Libel Lawsuit For Telling The Truth About National Guard Deployments

Whenever Trump doesn't like the facts, he calls it "fake news" or does what he's doing here: tries to shoot the messenger by threatening them with a lawsuit. The administration has been sending National Guard troops to various US cities ever since it became clear its mass deportation efforts weren't nearly as popular with US...

Border Czar Tom Homan Says The Glove Tasering Will Continue Until Morale Improves

We've moved into a new era where the administration's constant cruelty, violence, and actual murders simply aren't enough to keep Trump appeased or entertained. ICE is now goosing its arrest numbers by arresting holders of expired visas at domestic airports. Now we're being treated to additional abject cruelty in the places where boots are on...

ICE Says It Will Fit Every Officer With A Body Cam, Restrict Public Access To Recordings

After immigration officers murdered two people in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the DHS made some noises about outfitting officers with body cameras. Six months later -- and following even more killings -- nearly every officer was still bereft of state-owned recording devices. The administration offered this excuse for its lack of compliance with its own promises: While...

Rather Than Investigate The Alex Pretti Murder, The DHS Investigated Minneapolis Activist Groups

Two murders in less than a week. That's how the surge went in Minneapolis -- a city targeted because the city and state were run by members of the opposing party. It was political persecution pretending to be a public safety effort. Trump and his administration buddies amplified accusations of government funding fraud. Trump himself...

ICE Is Buying Stun Gloves For Officers Because They’re Just Not Injuring/Killing Enough Migrants

The administration has no legitimate justification for this action. It's all about inflicting as much literal pain as possible on anyone ICE officers happen to encounter. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon be outfitted with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks intended to gain compliance from combative individuals. ICE plans to spend up...

Trump’s Mass Detention Policy Shut Down By Two Appeals Courts On The Same Day

The Trump administration has been shut down more than 10,000 times by federal courts over its novel interpretation of the law -- one it claims allows it to indefinitely detain migrants without giving them a bond hearing. Some of those 10,000 adverse decisions have been significant, with implications that stretch far beyond single cases or...
