The Trump Administration sent the first deportation flight of 162 people, many of whom lost their TPS, back to Haiti last week. The ages ranged from 19 to 71. 💔

DHS Sec Mullin spent the summer telling the public that ICE is focusing on the "worst of the worst." He lied. Nearly *all* of the ICE summer surge was driven by people with absolutely zero criminal history on record. Not opinion, just the data. austinkocher.substack.com/p/ices-summe...

ICE’s Summer Enforcement Surge Driven by People with No Criminal History
The latest data from Deportation Data Project shows that ICE has never arrested so many people — and never so many people without any criminal history.

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

Asylum seekers in the U.S. are suing ICE, accusing it of forcing them to wear “draconian” ankle monitors to enrich GEO Group. GEO Group charges twice as much for the physical monitors than they do for their app alternative. GEO Group made $250 million in profits last year.

In 2024, experts said that as many as 1,360 children remained separated from their parents six years after the first Trump admin’s zero tolerance policy. Under mass deportation we now run the risk of repeating this permanent family separation—but on an even larger scale:

A little girl can’t go to the park with her parents. A mother trembles while taking out the trash. A father peeks through the blinds to see if anyone is watching. Years earlier, this family faced persecution in Venezuela, but now they’re living in terror in the United States.

This is wild- shelter beds (for adults) empty while families are waiting 6-9+ months for shelter space. Yet more family shelter, let alone trauma informed and secure family shelter, is not a meaningful part of the city's shelter bed spree 🤔
