I understand the urge but... immigrants are not only valuable because of contributions to the economy.
This is damaging coz:
1. Contributes to commodification of immigrants
2. Makes migrants disposable & deportable when labour is no longer needed (esp periods of high unemployment & austerity)

All these Trumpers are in for a hurting real bad once they feel how important immigrants are to the economy.
It's going to be immense pain. And you know what? The country did it to itself—the self-destructive power of white supremacy.

HSI needs more attention. Shadowy agency with ambiguous jurisdiction and 10K+ officers.
They pop up in lots of dubious "DHS" cases -- massage parlor busts, anti-gang stuff, low-level drug policing, etc.
Defense/civil rights attorneys have also told me it's really difficult to get info out of them.

HSI is the arm of ICE that is an actual criminal law enforcement agency, which is partly why they have this kind of gear. In previous years, most of their work was unrelated to immigration enforcement. Now they've been ordered to make immigration enforcement the number one priority of the agency.
Yup. I’m here.

The DOJ has argued that DNA collection at the border will help solve crimes in the future. But experts say that the children’s raw genetic material will be stored indefinitely and worry that it could be used for more extensive profiling.

You genuinely can't make this up. The acting head of the immigration courts (a partisan who has spent months ranting about perceived injustices of the Biden years) said the courts were permitting ICE arrests in courtrooms because there was no reason people needed to fear that in normal cases. Oops.
In January, new EOIR leadership issued a memo opening the door to ICE arrests at immigration court.
The memo was incredulous at the idea that those w/ valid claims could be disincentivized from appearing as they have "no reason to fear any enforcement action by DHS." www.justice.gov/eoir/media/1...
