This was never an issue before, but it’s suddenly an issue now that ICE has gone full Gestapo to keep up with Trump’s mass deportation demands. ICE’s tactics — unmarked vehicles, masked officers, and untargeted raids of any place that might contain foreigners — have earned it all the criticism and hatred it now faces.
The DHS is trotting out fake stats to justify ICE officers’ actions and President Trump has gotten busy sending military troops to police city streets. ICE has decided to join the general lawlessness of Trump’s second term by not only refusing to allow US lawmakers to perform their oversight duties, but serving up arrests and bogus criminal charges when members of Congress demand access to detention facilities.
These intimidation tactics haven’t worked. In fact, they’ve backfired. So, in an effort to snatch victory from defeat, ICE has decided it no longer needs to respect the law when it comes to Congressional oversight.
Soo, notify them every day that you plan to visit in 3 days but only show up on some of those days?
"Dear ICE,
We will be arriving somewhere between 73 hours and 5,200 hours from now. Please prepare accordingly.
Regards,
Inspectors"
The ol’ malicious-compliance approach. I’m sure they’d write a whiny memo about ghosting.
