JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

ICE is an agency whose recruiting and training standards are so low that other federal law enforcement agents say pejoratively that ICE is “hired by the pound, from the pound.”
What Democrats need to know to truly reform ICE
I'm an expert, and the misconduct and corruption run far deeper than even the deadly surges have shown.

“Every single woman had been in the facility about three weeks and had been living in the same articles of clothing for three weeks…Their clothes had not been washed. They had not been offered fresh underwear or fresh clothing. Some of them were literally still in their snow boots from Minnesota."
"Things are not getting better. They are getting worse"

U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso, made another oversight visit at Camp East Montana last week. During her visit she met with women detained in Minnesota, detailing how many were still in their snow boots.

They were never going to get to their stated deportations goal with due process. So they're phasing it out.

(Part 2)
🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

Undoubtedly true, but the ultimate goal is just to increase the deportation throughput, not to build legitimacy with the circuit courts. The process is itself the punishment in this new system.

Oh yes, 100%. They will absolutely use this to only hear appeals of cases where ICE lost and summarily refuse to hear appeals where ICE won. I have not a single doubt in my body that this is the plan.

The Trump admin is ALSO changing the rules so that rather than 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal, people will now only have 10 days (in most cases).

That's just 10 days to find $1,000 and appellate counsel for an appeal the government says it will likely automatically deny!

Over 73,000 people are currently in ICE custody, the most ever...

But that's not the only shocking number:

- There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.
