Data: Around 67% of ICE detainees in Tri-State jails have no criminal history, considered 'no threat level'

Today it is snowballs. Tomorrow it could be anvils, a piano that falls on your head and makes your teeth turn into its keys, a photorealistic tunnel and roadway painted on a brick wall, or worse.

What happens when a neo-Nazi becomes your neighbor? Here's how it played out in Glendale, an upscale Cincinnati village. From today's @Enquirer:

The agency eliminated 240 hours of “vital classes” from a mandatory 580-hour training program, including instruction about the legal boundaries for the use of force, how to safely handle firearms, and the proper way to detain and arrest immigrants.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

ICE offers jobs to FIRED police officers. If they don't follow rules in their current job, what makes ICE believe they will follow rules at ICE? This is contemptible and highlights their active recruitment of lawless agents.

Most of the petitions were filed by a newly mobilized army of volunteer lawyers with little or no experience with immigration law — corporate litigators, divorce lawyers, estate planners and criminal defense attorneys

Middletown deputy police chief placed on administrative leave amid internal investigation

According to a report by the Associated Press, nearly 1,000 police officers in the U.S. lost their licenses as a result of sexual misconduct between 2009 and 2014—a “sure undercount,” the report noted, since nine states didn’t keep relevant records.

oh SHE's the one in the meat grinder

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history. Linda Davis was killed by ICE today. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia.

Defunding the building of these “detention centers” should be a central demand from Dems. ICE is deeply unpopular and this price tag is objectively obscene. But the consultancy braintrust determined any demand for “defunding” was taboo so its body cams and redundant legal tweaks

Policing lying IS a felony. It’s perjury. But prosecutors rarely charge police. They rely on police & police department cooperation for their cases. And fear that if they hold police accountable, they’ll lose that critical partnership. So lying continues & expands.

A few months ago Kristi Noem made national headlines claiming that a family had beat ICE agents with snow shovels. ICE was then caught detaining and trying to deport witnesses of the alleged attack, to prevent them from testifying. Turns out, Noem lied. It never happened.

Attorneys: Cleveland police use facial recognition without training or transparency on its use

A reminder that the FBI’s most recent data (2024) shows over 94% of the 7.5 million arrests made by law enforcement agencies nationwide did not involve an alleged violent crime. Policing in the U.S. is overwhelmingly NOT focused on violent crime.

In drafting a search warrant affidavit, the Fourth Amendment requires the inclusion of facts that would negate probable cause, if they exist. The government can't pick facts that, if true, could support a finding a probable cause, but omit the facts that cancel that.
