Trump's mass protection machine writes his own rules

The last major revision of the American Immigration Act took place decades ago, and since then there has been no will by the congress to revise it. Instead, a number of presidents have tried to interpret the law in such a way that they correspond to their preferred guidelines. However, what we see under President Donald Trump is a German bureaucracy that gives up the law while it exists and describes the rules that would prevent it from exercising maximum cruelty and dehumanism towards immigrants.

In the past six months, the immigration and customs authority has served as the top of the spear in the Mass Dust of the Trump government. According to the Washington Post, the incumbent ICE director Todd Lyons published a memo last week in which the officials are instructed to keep immigrants in their custody, “for the duration of their distance procedure” – so long that this takes. He claimed that immigrants who had previously been able to request supporters may not be released from ice custody.

The decision of Lyons is based on “a section of the Immigration Act, which says that unauthorized immigrants” are detained after their arrest “, said the Post,” but the historically used for those who have recently exceeded the border and not long -time residents. “A spokesman for ICE shared NBC News on Tuesday that the decision to obtain prisoners, hears, hears, hearings “A gap” in the current law closes and argues that people inside the country should be treated as well as the people arrested on the border.

His determination is a great shifting of the way in which ice works and the immigration system threatens more generally overnight. Even before this recent escalation, there was already a massive deficit of the immigration process. According to the annual report of ICE for the 2024 financial year, there are “more than 7.6 million non-state members in the distant procedure or is subject to the final orders of the distance in the non-detailed action of the agency”. If all of them were recorded for the entire procedure, the number would be in the shade of the 155,655 inmates that are currently being held throughout the federal prison system.

In addition, last year the prisoners were only detained in the ice facilities in the facilities for an average of 46.9 days. The report also found that “the detention is not punishable and that the agency does not state citizens only if necessary or on the basis of the unique circumstances of the case”.

Lyons' arrangements only raise these general instructions in order to make detention rather than the exception.

This change of guidelines will only be burdened with one system that was commissioned to expand its dragnet and the enlargement of its arrest numbers. NBC News reported last week that Trump's prison sentence increased under Trump, but the deportations are delayed: “According to ICE data, the agents were arrested around 30,000 immigrants last month, but most of the monthly data were made available in November 2020. The number of immigrants deported in June.

The imbalance has led to a lack of space in the current institutions of ICE, in which NBC News recently reported that overcrowding from detention centers triggered complaints in at least seven states of “complaints about hunger, food shortages and spoiled food”. A tsunami of financing the congress for enforcing immigration is intended to significantly expand the available IC caching room. Lyons' new guideline helps all of these new beds to be filled – and a few others.

However, turning some of these beds will be easier – thanks to another new policy of Lyons. In a memo that was published last week, the incumbent director used a recent decision by the Supreme Court to speed up the process for the deportation of immigrants into an “alternative” country than that they left behind. In some cases, these people can be sent to a country where they do not know anyone, do not speak the language and have no support with a notice period of less than 24 hours to question the order.

These movements are in particular not exclusive to ice, but take place in the administration. The Ministry of Justice spread a memo last month in which the new priorities of its civil department were presented. Instead of concentrating on the voting rights or violations of the Civil Rights Act, the few remaining lawyers in the branch branch must now prioritize, among other things. The Memo of the Deputy Attorney General Brett Shumate contains 10 potential categories for the latter cases, including the department mentioned in the department, that it is “noticeable that it is sufficiently important to pursue them”.

The survival scope of this last category for Catch-All is worrying-but the one who concerns me aims at “people who have acquired naturalization by corruption by the government, fraud or material false representations”. This language sounds relatively benign, but it is good with the right rhetoric that incorrectly claims that the bidges administration “illegally” allowed millions of immigrants into the country. Every migrant who came in these years and obtained citizenship could possibly threaten his naturalization due to this new focus.

ICE also worryed about himself to rewrite the supervisory laws adopted by the congress, and the window restricted in which legislators can be unannounced for inspections. Members of the congress may explicitly attend facilities that “detain the extraterrestrials or accommodate” in any other way, but they now have to provide ice cream with a 72-hour warning before visiting an ICE field office. While the memo distinguishes a distinction between offices and detention centers, the law did not become, and migrants were reportedly held on the field for days due to overcrowding.

Taken together, these revisions provide a window on how Trump's deportation machine will work when it is finally up to date.

The constant inflow of migrants in detention centers and their fast peeling to random countries is ready to escalate into an almost automated process without being banned to insert their fate. If you present these supposed undesirable rights to a proper procedure, your freedom, a hearing and the protective measures of the law, the administration takes you from your humanity.

How long does it take for this optimized process, which has no attraction or a appearance of mercy in order to be viewed as too time -consuming or expensive? Then what will the fate of the people who are stuffed into these camps without having hope for the release? The answer can be one that we have sworn as civilization in order to never allow again.
