Article: To the Chagrin of CBP By Eugene Goldstein

<span itemprop=”articleBody”>
<p>
On November 25, ICE Posted: “Social Media Spreading Misinformation
Concerning Alleged Ice Activity”. ICE stated: “A statement
<a
href=”https://twitter.com/ei_mccomb/status/1198265371033128960″
target=”_blank”
>
posted
</a>
to social media, Nov. 23, is a prime example of the reckless, irresponsible
<a
href=”https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/misinformation-endangers-community-law-enforcement-officers-and-illegal-aliens”
>
misinformation
</a>
that continues to mislead the public concerning the mission of U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”
</p>
<p>
The purported incident occurred in Redmond, Washington on November 23 and
mentioned that an ICE employee entered a church-homeless shelter while
disguised as a homeless woman. The agency statement may be found at:
https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/so…d-ice-activity
</p>
<p>
A statement like this one, though unusual, would not normally be seen as
remarkable, except that on the same date, and, assumedly by pure
coincidence, TRAC released a report: “Growth in ICE Detention Fueled by
Immigrants with No Criminal Conviction” which may be found
<a href=”https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/583″>
https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/583
</a>
. Considering ICE’s claims that it is protecting national security by
focusing on what it (though not necessarily others) consider to be
criminals, these statistics seem to show that ICE itself may be
misrepresenting information. Specifically, at the end of 2019 ICE held
approximately 50,000 individuals, of which 32,000 (64%) had no criminal
convictions.
</p>
<p>
To further reinforce just how the government is protecting our national
security, another recent TRAC Report is titled “ICE Detains Fewer
Immigrants with Serious Criminal Convictions Under Trump Administration.”
Serious offenders-assault, burglary and drug trafficking as defined by ICE,
has significantly dropped since October, 2016. Simple traffic violations,
DUI and illegal reentry have taken their place. A GAO Report: “Immigration
Enforcement, Arrests, Detentions, and Removals, and Issues Related to
Selected Populations” dated December, 2019 notes: “The majority of
detentions were made up of males, aliens from … [Mexico, Guatemala, El
Salvador and Honduras] …and noncriminals”. So much for “reckless,
irresponsible misinformation.”
</p>
<p>
A review of past ICE news releases about its’ raids shows that a
substantial number of arrests, which are not convictions, may be for minor
incidents and/or very old ones. It can reasonably be asked if ICE’s chagrin
at being offended is itself reasonable.
