DHS chief defends New York ICE shooting, calling victim one of ‘the worst of the worst’ - POLITICO

Mamdani accused the administration Thursday of refusing to release Belgal and said ICE endangered communities. He and other progressives also called for the abolition of ICE. 

In Mullin’s telling, however, President Donald Trump offered to release Belgal into the custody of the New York Police Department, but Mamdani declined that offer. Mullin also said that Hochul told him that she’d like to help ICE apprehend criminals but also said she wanted to see a pause for now on enforcement…

ICE has quietly used this warehouse as a detention facility all summer, neighbors say : NPR

"Steve Miller certainly seemed to make that point to everyone that he wanted it to be cruel. This was what Miller had stated to the DHS at that time, to the DHS director and deputy director. What surprised me was just how adamant the people were that it was going to happen. Damn the consequences. I would say in 25 years of working with the U.S. government, I've never been in that position before."…

506 U.S. Citizens Detained (ProPublica investigative report)

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

 “DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake.” “There are no ‘indiscriminate’ stops.” Allegations of “racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE.” “The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force.” “ICE does not zip tie or restrain children.” 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported. 

 We know because we have once again done what the government hasn’t: We have tallied and cataloged every case we can find of an immigration agent holding a citizen during the current administration. 

More than 500 cases. That includes: 

• More than a hundred Americans held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all were people of color. 
• At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed. 
• Of the more than 300 Americans we tracked as detained for allegedly assaulting or obstructing agents, we found fewer than half were actually charged in federal court, and many of those cases were dropped or dismissed. 
• At least 63 Americans detained while recording. 
• 36 Americans held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their family. 
• Roughly a dozen citizens deported, mostly children. 

Collectively, these cases show that as the administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, federal agents have run roughshod over the constitutional rights of citizens too. We’re showing you every case — the reality that the administration denies — along with the receipts.

A nurse was attacked by ICE agents on camera. Now she wants justice

Earlier this year, the ACLU filed more than 50 legal claims across 17 states on behalf of people harmed by federal immigration agents. One of them is Norma Bowe. Norma is a nurse and grandmother who was working at her mobile medical clinic outside the Delaney Hall immigration center when protests broke out there in May. An ICE officer flung her to the ground while she was still wearing her stethoscope. In today’s episode Kai Wright speaks to Norma about why she is fighting back, and why her work continues to be vital for family members of people stuck in immigration detention…

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…

ICE agent shoots and wounds Venezuelan man at traffic stop in Austin, Texas

Austin police officers were not involved in the operation or the shooting, which occurred after a traffic stop, Davis told reporters. The city’s police arrived on the scene after the shooting and could be seen on bystander video asking the federal officers what had happened and then rushing back to their squad car to get surgical gloves and a medical kit and administering first aid to the man. The federal officers could be heard saying they had called an ambulance, but they did not appear to attempt to give first aid…
