When ICE moves people to facilities in other countries, it is 1st and foremost a human rights violation.
But it is also a problem for transparency. These ICE detention stat releases don't include any details about the number of people held at CECOT on the US government's dime.

Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass deportations' components of the Big Beautiful Bill will not improve its CBO score. Indeed, it will make it much worse. Accounting for lost net revenue from immigrants adds nearly $1 trillion in additional cost.

Like Mahmoud Khalil, Fabian Schmidt, a permanent resident, was detained by ICE and subjected to inhumane treatment, leading to his hospitalization. Like Khalil, the administration is seeking to force Schmidt’s surrender of his green card. No explanation of his custody by ICE has been provided

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Considering how ICE is now operating without judicial review, how long until a US citizen is a labeled an “illegal immigrant” and subjected to deportation proceedings without due process? It just happened
