Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever

Though agents appear to be moving with more stealth than they were before, ICE arrests are still, often, violent. Glimpses of that violence are – despite Mullin’s initial intentions – still making national headlines. 

 Last week, an ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in Austin, Texas. The Venezuelan asylum seeker, who had received a deportation order after missing a letter to appear in immigration court, was discharged from a local hospital with a bullet still lodged near his spine and then taken to ICE detention. That same day, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a Guatemalan man died in a fiery crash while fleeing federal immigration agents. 

Still, for every arrest that breaks through into public view, countless others happen quickly, before anyone can notice. “The detentions are happening in a flash – we’re talking, like, 90 seconds from the time ICE shows up to that person being driven away,” Willis said. “And often they are moving very quietly, with very soft feet.”…

GAO finds ICE ‘wasted’ millions of dollars in deportation push - POLITICO

GAO said it found wasteful spending in six ICE initiatives the agency began last year. In one instance, the agency spent nearly $3 million to assemble tents that were never used at the naval base in Guantanamo Bay. ICE also spent more than $20 million on “non-recoverable costs such as zoning assessments and security” for warehouses it purchased last year to house deportees but now intends to sell…

Trump officials sending undocumented children to Texas sparks fears of mass deportation

The processing to Texas is occurring despite the state’s GOP-dominated government refusing to provide state licensing for ORR care providers, a policy that hasn’t stopped the facilities from operating there, but has meant less child welfare oversight and protections for kids.

  “Texas is very sympathetic to the Trump administration, at least the governor and the Republican legislature. And so I think the Trump administration knows that not only will there be no pushback from the state government and from the governor, but that people like Governor Greg Abbott are willing accomplices,” Veronica Escobar, a Democratic congresswoman from west Texas, told the Guardian in a phone interview this week…

ICE bans hugging inside California’s largest detention center. Families are fighting back

The total denial of contact visits is an extreme restriction for any prison or detention site where people are locked up long-term, particularly a facility holding people accused of immigration violations. Prisons across the US housing people convicted of serious criminal offenses typically operate visitation rooms where families can sit at tables, only temporarily barring contact visits when there are safety concerns. 

The harsh policy, advocates say, is part of the Trump administration’s strategy of placing more and more people in crowded facilities while their cases drag on, subjecting them to prison-like conditions and restricting their connections to the outside – all which can increase pressure to accept deportations...
