For more than 15 years, before they conducted any operation to arrest an immigrant in the United States, officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division have been required to fill out a form with details about their target — name, appearance, known addresses and employment, immigration history, any criminal history and more — and give it to a supervisor for approval.
This year, in a sign of how the agency has moved from targeted enforcement to broad street sweeps under the Trump administration, that policy has been ended, six current and former officials and agents of ICE and the Department of Homeland Security told NBC News.
“It’s hard to fill out a worksheet that just says, ‘Meet in the Home Depot parking lot,’” one of the former ICE officials said.
Like, this was already a rubber stamped joke of due process designed to make it look like ICE was a normal law enforcement agency that had to go to court and get warrants (incidentally, reminder that immigration “judges” aren’t real judges, they’re executive branch stooges), but they can’t even keep up appearances with these quotas I guess
