Yes. Yes they are, we have many reports of them hauling off citizens, tourists, and especially legal residents.
It’s actually the reason people are upset. Obama deported way more than trump but he used courts to do it and you know what, no spectacle! It was methodical and systematic and sometimes I’m sure it was cruel and shocking but they followed a well documented legal procedure which gave people some guidance on the process.
rump and his administration on the other hand don’t give a fuck. Chaos and cruelty are the point. The rules and proceedings that we have built up are out the window because they give people too much warning. They allow people too much understanding of the process. There is not enough fear involved if they follow procedure. They like fear and people being afraid of them. It’s part of why the inflatable costumes piss them off so much. Protestors being ridiculous and silly juxtaposed with ICE treating inflatable frogs and unicorns as a violent threat. It makes ice look small, weak, jumpy, and most of all, in the wrong.
But yes they are hauling off tourists and legal residents to answer your question. They then revoke whatever visa they’re on including revoke permanent residence without due process… It’s what we in the business call really fucking awful.
You can have proof that you live here, have lived here for 20 years, legally although you might have arrived without documentation. You have a spouse, children, maybe even put together money for a house. And then ICE shows up to at you claiming that a DUI you received 18 years ago is justification for removal from the country and your family and your life. Oh and we’re shipping you back to the country where you’re on a hit list.
This exactly. And moreover, with SCOTUS saying it’s totally OK to detain people in foreign prisons before their case (which is done online to further minimize the ability of the defense to actually do their job), they can just ship you to the country that has a hit on you, and weird, you wind up dead or beaten halfway there so you look nice and dirty for a judge who’s already likely decided to throw you wherever (but now you look like “one of them” so there’s an extra layer of justification).

It’s just cruel for the sake of cruelty.
