This is how the Laramie County Sheriff characterizes his office's application of the new 287g immigration enforcement powers. They've been focusing attention on truckers.

“Self-deport” is a whitewashed way to describe “fleeing the country under the threat of state violence.” I agree with Maria here — it’s important to call that exactly what it is.
What. No.
Don't use their language, @newyorker.com that is not even a real word. What the hell is wrong with "flee" or like. "Flee this godforsaken country"

Earlier this month, WaPo reported the DHS had recently signed a contract to purchase six 737s to use for deportations.
A new DHS record suggests ICE is also planning a significant expansion of its ground transportation capacity.

The latest on ICE's plans to use skip tracing companies to track down immigrants. By my count, ICE has awarded such contracts to at least 13 companies so far.
10 Companies Have Already Made $1 Million as ICE Bounty Hunters. We Found Them.
And they stand to make millions more in cash bonuses for surveilling and tracking immigrants in service of ICE’s deportation machine.

‼️ Heads up, Los Angeles. Contracting docs show CBP looking to rent portable restrooms at the USCG base in San Pedro — a good indicator you'll see an influx of BP agents.
Bid docs say this is for Jan. 5 - Mar. 5, 2026, but bid and delivery deadlines suggest arrival as early as 12/22.

However, I'm confused about why a phony Christian like Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz would claim he wants to serve Israel.

There may be some steps individuals can take to mitigate risk (e.g., in a mixed status household, switching cars, since license plate data seems to be a favorite for ICE).
Zooming out, our best opportunity to throw sand in the gears of this machine is to slow the spread of 287(g) agreements.
