People attending recent mandatory immigration check-ins or court appearances have been escorted out in federal custody after the Trump administration allegedly tricked, lied to, or otherwise deceived them as part of its mass deportation campaign.
Amid a blitz of immigration-related policy changes over the last few weeks, Donald Trump and his subordinates have greenlit the ability of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) to conduct potential civil enforcement operations at courthouses, including in immigration courts.
They have also reportedly set daily arrest quotas between at least 1,200 and 1,500 and gotten angry when agents have not consistently met those targets – pressure from the top that is probably incentivizing officers on the ground to go after the lowest-hanging fruit instead of people with serious criminal records.
There’s no lower-hanging fruit than immigrants following the rules, who reliably show up when they are called in for immigration check-ins or court dates. And, already, anecdotes from around the country demonstrate how Ice is setting traps for people to walk into as their family members look on, helpless.......
By arresting people who actually report for required meetings and adjudications, officials are also in effect punishing them for not absconding. And while there has always been a risk of apprehension at Ice check-ins, it’s a seemingly counterintuitive approach to improving immigration enforcement to harm those who regularly come forward as they are directed.
Similar concerns exist around enforcement actions at court – and especially immigration courts. When non-citizens don’t show up for their immigration proceedings, they are often ordered removed as a no-show.

But the fact is a lot of the fault is those that invited these people to illegally enter the US.
Meanwhile what once was England is now Pakistan east
MSN = the fakest of fake news.
Isn’t England west of Pakistan?
Illegal aliens are not Americans. They have no business being here. They even admit it on their “Trump Is Not My President” signs. Claudia Sheinbaum is their president.
“...after the Trump administration allegedly tricked, lied to, or otherwise deceived them...”
We don’t owe those people anything.
So where’s this newspapers list of suggestions to address the issues - oh that’s right they support suppressing free speech if you dare stray from the official UK government storyline.
>> Isn’t England west of Pakistan?
England is indeed east of Pakistan, you just have to drive further. ;-)
Is it unethical to lie to criminals in pursuance of their arrest? Oh hell no!! Great strategy!!
If their family members are there, grab them too if they are also illegal aliens.
After all, we wouldn’t want to separate families as the dems claim.
“Dragnet” was the title of an old series on TV, about a pair of detectives, Joe Friday and Frank Smith, on the LAPD of the 1950’s and how the police work of the day proceeded. The LAPD was once regarded as the height of justice, procedure and reliability.
“Just the facts, ma’am.”

The govt. actually doing its job, bimp.
“Grin and bear it!” I got a chuckle out of that, but don’t worry, I didn’t miss your larger and quite valid point.

Lying to criminals to catch them is ok by me.
“Isn’t England west of Pakistan?”
