In Iowa, a Native American woman was mistakenly issued an ICE detainer in her jail file, despite proving her U.S. citizenship, which nearly resulted in a wrongful transfer. The incident, involving a 24-year-old from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, exposed the potential for errors within the 287(g) program, where local law enforcement assists ICE. While the Polk County Sheriff’s Office acknowledged the error, the Department of Homeland Security vehemently denies the detainer, creating conflicting accounts. Jacobo’s family is considering legal action, raising further questions about the program and potential racial profiling within the system.

Democratic-led states are inadvertently sharing drivers’ data with ICE, officials say, and that’s a problem we need to unpack. The core issue, it seems, is that state agencies, the ones entrusted with our precious personal information, are often better at gathering it than they are at keeping it safe. It’s like they’re good at building the house, but forget to install a proper lock on the front door. We’re talking about driver’s license data here, the kind of info that can reveal a lot about a person: their address, their identity, and potentially, their immigration status.

These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why. The core of this unsettling story boils down to a question that hangs heavy in the air: why were these skilled engineers, brought to America to contribute to a burgeoning industry, treated with such disregard, and even worse, detained and deported? The simple, and frankly, disturbing truth is that the answers are multi-faceted, layered with the complexities of immigration policies, political maneuvering, and, let’s not shy away from it, accusations of deeply rooted racism and xenophobia.
The narrative reveals a tangled web of visa issues.… Continue reading
Michigan Senate Democrats are proposing a three-bill package aimed at restricting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities within the state. The legislation seeks to prohibit ICE agents from wearing masks and conducting enforcement actions in sensitive locations such as churches, hospitals, and schools, except under specific circumstances like a court order or imminent public safety threat. Additionally, the bills would prevent local and state police from sharing identifying information with ICE for immigration enforcement purposes without a warrant. While the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety Committee heard testimony on the bills, a vote was not taken, and the package’s passage is uncertain given the Republican-controlled House. The sponsors believe these measures are crucial to protect resident privacy and ensure accountability.
