SUCKERSWith trumps history of stiffing contractors and not paying employees did you really believe the grifter-in-chief had changed even playing with house money.

(1,964 posts)keep even if the person is released later. I dont know if its true but that would be a great incentive to pull someone out of their car or slam them to the ground.
It will be interesting later to see where those billions given to ICE went.
I wish they could mandate oversight with security cameras in the prisons. It would also be nice to stop them from disappearing people to torture prisons in another state.
White nationalists infiltrated police departments for decades. Probably why some police are laying low. They love this. Derek Chauvin would have signed up for ICE duty if he was still free. Lots of cops fired for excessive force already have. They will have to be weeded out in 29.

Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

(23,297 posts)*. Federal agents fired defensive shots at a suspect accused of ramming his car into law enforcement while attempting to flee an immigration operation.
*. The man was not injured and crashed his car in Willowbrook where he was taken into custody.
It feels reckless, said neighbor Miguel Carrillo. Theres kids who walk to school here.

The man was not wounded, but a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent sustained unspecified injuries.
At 7:05 a.m., Homeland Security officers conducted an operation to apprehend William Eduardo Moran Carballo, a citizen of El Salvador who is accused of being in the U.S. illegally and participating in a human smuggling operation, according to a department spokesperson.
A federal agent walks past a bullet shattered window of a car involved in a shooting in Willowbrook.
In an attempt to flee, Carballo weaponized his vehicle and rammed law enforcement, who fired at Carballo in defense, the spokesperson said.

Thank you for the heads-up! ICE is an unconstitutional secret police. It is imperative to see all the criminals in it are held to account and brought to justice.
