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.

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.

A Portland family we know was recently snatched off the streets and detained here, for no known reason. These sites have always been, and will continue to be, inhumane and violent. This reign of terror and torture must end. ICE and all prisons/detention centers must be abolished.

No one should be shot by law enforcement. No one should fear leaving their home because ICE could snatch them at any moment. Yet this is the reality of the local asylum-seeking Venezuelan community and many others right now. ICE and CBP have no place in our communities and must be disbanded.

Due process means everyone gets a day in court. What we have seen from this administration is a reckless disregard for this cherished right, foundational to a functional state. When they murder people in the Caribbean or shoot them in US streets, they are acting as judge, jury and executioner.
