#DemocracyNow: #NewYork Mayor Eric Adams Orders #RikersJail to Reopen ICE Office
Headline, Apr 09, 2025
"Here in New York, Mayor #EricAdams is reopening an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office inside the #RikersIsland jail complex. Adams first signaled the move after he met with Trump’s so-called border czar #TomHoman in February. The #NewYorkCivilLibertiesUnion slammed the Adams administration for 'selling out New Yorkers for Trump’s dangerous deportation regime.' The group said in a statement, '#ICE’s presence on Rikers serves no legitimate purpose, and opens the door to unlawful collusion between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials in violation of our city’s well-established sanctuary protections. … New Yorkers see this for what it is: Mayor Adams skirting the City Council, cozying up to Trump, and putting immigrant New Yorkers in harm’s way.'"

"We need to get better at treating this like a business,” acting ICE director, Todd Lyons, said.
Lyons said that he wanted to see a deportation process “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.”
Reminder to Lyons: Adolf Eichmann, the technocrat behind Hitler's death camps, ran his operation like a business, and also shipped human beings.
It's already been done in real life, not on the Simpsons.

Inside a Powerful Database ICE Uses to Identify and Deport People
The database allows filtering according to hundreds of different categories, including visa status, “unique physical characteristics (e.g. scars, marks, tattoos),” “criminal affiliation,” license plate reader data, and more.

Psychopaths; even as they admit they are dealing with human beings. Gross, sickening, inhumane beyond imagining. The USA needs to be isolated by as many countries as possible as soon as possible. As for any contractor who takes this on…. I have no words. #FeloniousTrump #ICE #BoycottUSA https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/114309431708312821

The head of #ICE said he’d like the agency to implement a system of trucks that rounds up #immigrants for #deportation in a system similar to how #Amazon delivers packages.

It's been said before, but I'll beat the dead horse again:
(one of) Smilin' Joe #Biden's biggest mistakes was not performing a complete house-cleaning at #ICE (and really U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as a whole) to root out the #Racist #Bigots who were running the entire lawless enterprise
ICE has been a rogue "agency" pretty much operating as its own law enforcement agency and private government, making its own policies and procedures that have only one purpose:
Terrorize any and all non-#Caucasians within the United States and either force them to leave, or arrest, imprison, and deport them as slave labor

"The acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service is resigning over a deal to share immigrants’ tax data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement...
"Melanie Krause, who had served as acting head since February, will step down over the new data-sharing document signed Monday by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The agreement will allow ICE to submit names and addresses of immigrants inside the U.S. illegally to the IRS for cross-verification against tax records.
"The IRS has been in upheaval over Trump administration decisions to share taxpayer data. Acting Commissioner Douglas O’Donnell announced his retirement from the agency after roughly 40 years of service in February as furor spread over Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency gaining access to IRS taxpayer data. Krause replaced him."

"In Baltimore, #ICE is arresting people so quickly it can’t transfer them out fast enough, forcing ppl to stay in squalid cells for days; cells designed only for a short stay under 12 hrs.No beds. No bathroom privacy. No showers.
Here’s what one grandmother experienced."
-A Reichlin-Melnick
The conditions in which undocumented #immigrants are held are starting to rival CECOT in SLV. Most of these ppl held in det are NONCRIMINALS.
