The agency blames government shutdowns for the delay, despite billions in new funding.

ICE hasn’t released its semimonthly “Detention Management” report on arrests, detentions and deportations since April 9, when the agency reported holding more than 60,000 people in custody.

News media, think tanks and academia have requested the missing data, and ICE has refused to deliver it, sparking at least three separate lawsuits, including one by a far-right group demanding the “true deportation statistics.”

    I don’t know how that is even legal. To be law enforcement you need to be able to be identified. It’s literally a law that police have to be able to identify themselves.

    Otherwise it’s just a banana republican junta disappearing people like Pinochet.

      Laws require people to enforce them. Otherwise they are just ink on a page. If the people that have been tasked with enforcement are the ones breaking the law…

      Ever read the PATRIOT act? Basically…they can do whatever the fuck they want if they just use the buzzword “terrorism.”

      Never mind the fact that it’s them with the stochastic terrorism and literal judgements on peoples lives…it’s all the fault of the democrats not the nazis
