ICE hasn’t released its semimonthly “Detention Management” report on arrests, detentions and deportations since April 9, when the agency reported holding more than 60,000 people in custody.
News media, think tanks and academia have requested the missing data, and ICE has refused to deliver it, sparking at least three separate lawsuits, including one by a far-right group demanding the “true deportation statistics.”
To be fair, they probably are keeping good records. They’re just for internal use only. They’ve basically fired everyone that would report that data or changed the rules so they don’t have to report it publicly anymore. The “leaders” of the regime, like Trump himself and his cabinet, all look like incompetent idiots bumbling around to distract us while the competent ones do all the work. And the majority of people will still spend all their time laughing at the clowns on TV as everything gets dismantled behind the scenes.
