ICE injured a man they were trying to abduct, resulting in needing ambulance transport for him to Jersey City Medical Center. At the ER, goons posed as police to try and gain access inside. Jersey City PD assisted ICE and escorted them, demonstrating clear collaboration.

Whatever the policy change is, if it exists all, the story appears written to catch the attention of the White House and get Stephen Miller to reverse it. This is how the piece ends.
One ICE source cast doubt on whether agency leadership told Trump before calling off non-criminal arrests. Similar questions surfaced in July, when Mullin briefly halted ICE traffic stops following two fatal shootings by ICE officers in Bidderford, Maine, and Houston.
Trump quickly restored traffic stops after coming out in opposition to the pause.
"I hope Trump finds out about this sh*t and puts an end to it," the source said.

If we look at the beginnings of the concentration camps In Germany in 1933 and the way they were run at first, there is a remarkable similarity to what Trump is doing with the camps that he has established. Perhaps Trump’s concentration camps are not quite as brutal as Dachau was before it became

“It’s torture that as her mom and as her family, we could not protect Renee,” the mother testified, clearly emotional. “But no one can protect against others who are determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.”
“Our family is a very American blend,” Ganger continued. “We vote differently, but we love each other deeply. I’m a registered Republican. I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the United States — innocents like our family and the others here — against terrorists, certainly not to accuse those here of being terrorists and take precious lives.”

“This is madness,” she concluded.

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."
