DMC missing the point entirely.
Are you being stupid or completely disingenuous?
Never an easy call, both are possible.

One week later, still where we are.
If it were babies, would people care then?
Expedited removal rules expanded to let ICE do it anywhere in the US, starting Oct. 16th.
BPS has deported US citizens this way in the past.
yep, young Hitler was very impressed with this American codified racism

What America Taught the Nazis
In the 1930s, the Germans were fascinated by the global leader in codified racism—the United States.

The Loathsome American Book That Inspired Hitler
It may be the most dangerous scientific tract ever written.
And what followed the publication of
the book the Führer called ‘his Bible’ is a mirror image of today’s headlines.

No records, no problem.

FOIA nerd dug up some on ICE contractors. Outsourcing torture of detainees, tbh.
ICE nearly deported a US citizen who is a material witness to and a victim of alleged medical misconduct in Irwin, GA.
https://theintercept.com/2020/11/02/...n-deportation/One of the immigration judges who presided over Bowman’s claim was William Cassidy, who previously came under scrutiny for deporting a citizen, Mark Lyttle, to Mexico in 2008. A district court judge in 2012 wrote that Cassidy had “rubber-stamped the false conclusion and unsupported record constructed by North Carolina ICE and the Georgia ICE Defendants that stated Lyttle was a citizen of Mexico. In 2019, Attorney General William Barr appointed Cassidy to the Board of Immigration Appeals.
https://jacquelinestevens.org/StevensVSP18.32011.pdfDeportations of U.S. citizens occur much more frequently than commonly understood. According to Jacqueline Stevens, a professor at Northwestern University and founder of the Deportation Research Clinic, about 1 percent of all people detained by ICE are U.S. citizens, and about one-half of 1 percent of all people deported from the country are U.S. citizens.
Gonna be a bit of a reckoning soon. Really would not mind ICE being absorbed back into the muck it came from.
very rough stuff, wtf are we doing to people?

Federal judge blocks new criminal disqualifiers to asylum
said the rule “sweeps too broadly” and was unnecessary because current federal law already includes a host of disqualifying crimes such as drug trafficking, money laundering and counterfeiting.
two government agencies exceeded their authority and said
the rule was “substantively and procedurally defective.”
the new rule would have added a litany of crimes that would have been disqualifying.
They included convictions for
domestic violence — whether a felony or misdemeanor — assault or battery,
re-entering the country illegally,
identify theft,
public benefits fraud,
immigrant smuggling and
driving under the influence.

The Trump Administration withheld information that might have reunited separated parents and children.
Under international norms this is torture.
https://inthesetimes.com/article/ice...id-19-outbreakNevertheess, by July 4, every#one in the unit — more than 80 people — had put in requests for a Covid-19 test, according to interviews with Golding and another immigrant detained by ICE, as well as the affidavits of nine detainees includ#ed in a pe ion for a writ of habeas corpus Golding filed on his own behalf in the Northern District of Alabama in September.
Two days later, accord#ing to those 11, Etowah County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Mike O’Bryant called a lockdown of the unit. O’Bryant then read the names of the 10 most vocal detainees calling for mass testing, including Golding. These 10, O’Bryant said, were going to solitary. At the time of their transfer, none had test#ed positive for Covid-19. All 11 sources say they felt this was punishment and retaliation for request#ing the coronavirus tests.
“I noticed that all of us who were ran#dom#ly picked were the ones who were vocal, outspoken and shown desire to be tested,” Stanley Walden wrote in an affidavit dated August 7.
After locking down the unit, O’Bryant and other staff mem#bers went from cell to cell asking whether anyone still wanted a Covid-19 test, according to Golding and the affidavits of nine others. Most declined and signed waivers saying as much.
ICE’s own guidance on how its detention cen#ters should respond to the Covid-19 pandemic says “facilities must ensure that med#ical isolation is operationally distinct from administrative or disciplinary segregation, or any punitive form of housing.” And yet a previous investigation by The Intercept found that a num#ber of ICE deten#tion cen#ters have failed to adhere to this requirement. According to immigrants detained at Etowah, solitary confinement was used not only as leverage to discourage requests for testing, but to isolate people with Covid-19.
The Intercept and In These Times spoke with five men who tested positive for Covid-19 while detained at Etowah. Each says he spent weeks in solitary.
Bakhodir Madjitov, who was deported in September, wrote that there were roaches and flies in the unit. Golding wrote that he was fed uncooked frozen food and didn’t have access to drink#ing water because the sink in his cell didn’t flow properly.
“No one wants to be treat#ed how I am currently being treated,” Dawa Sherpa wrote in his affidavit. “I fear that I may die here at Etowah County Detention Center.”
One man says he spent 21 days in isolation. Another counted 35 days, a third 54. Edwards says he was put in isolation June 29 and released July 28 — 29 days. Golding says he was in solitary confinement from July 6 to August 28 — 53 days.
Contractors and DHS officers should go to prison for like this. Not holding my breath.
