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...

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...

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...

DOJ Demands California Help It Hunt Down Thousands Of ‘Illegal’ Voters Who Don’t Actually Exist

The thing about being in power is that there’s not much room left between the floor and the ceiling. The administration can fall, but only so far, because it’s still the administration. Conversely, it can only rise so far. The system of checks and balances — even when broken — limits upward trajectories. Bureaucracy generates...

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...

FBI Whistleblower Says Emil Bove Directed Agents To Investigate Anti-ICE Protesters

Hey, this guy is a judge now! Let that seep in for a bit. Emil Bove used to work for the DOJ. Then he went to work for Trump, acting as his personal lawyer starting in 2023. Upon Trump's return to office, he was brought back to the DOJ to serve as an "associate deputy...

SCOTUS Once Again Allows Trump Administration To Keep Deporting Migrants To Random Countries

The Supreme Court just keeps giving Trump a free pass to engage in what Mike Masnick correctly called "human trafficking." It's stuff this nation has never done before because it's never been run by someone quite like Trump before. To maximize the cruelty inflicted on immigrants, the Trump administration (steered directly by its chief ghoul,...

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...

Trump Administration Is Now Sending More Arrested Migrants To Gitmo

Guantanamo Bay has always been shorthand for disappearing people. It's a place where people cease to exist, along with any rights they may have been afforded if they'd been imprisoned inside the United States. Its name is synonymous with torture and indefinite detention. And the excuse has always been the same: it's impossible to secure...

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...
