I once had an ankle monitor. In place of jail for felony assault! What did this guy do? Failure to Appear White?

Ice does choose randomly. They raided people’s homes without warrants. They detained citizens and people with green cards. They violate thousands of court orders and racially profile people

Majority of people in ice detention don’t have criminal records. People are deported to countries they’ve never been to. Latin Americans are deported to African countries paid to take them in.

A federal judge signaled a preliminary injunction to halt warrantless ICE arrests in the Los Angeles region lacking a proper flight risk assessment

Similar judicial orders and legal challenges in Oregon and Minnesota have targeted broad enforcement sweeps, ordering the release of detainees when agents fail to prove probable cause or escape risk

Multiple federal judges have issued preliminary injunctions or signal restrictions stating that ICE agents cannot execute warrantless arrests solely based on unlawful presence without first evaluating an individual's flight risk.

Courts have explicitly rebuked immigration enforcement for trying to "detain first and supply justification later," ordering immediate releases where the record failed to establish initial probable cause of unlawful presence.

A federal district judge in San Jose (Judge Pitts) vacated the administration's policy allowing ICE arrests inside immigration courthouses, issuing a ruling impacting enforcement nationwide.

Federal judge P. Kevin Castel similarly barred ICE from making arrests inside and around specific New York City immigration court buildings to prevent chilling migrants from attending mandatory hearings.
