The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures…. ICE agents don’t get to kidnap someone, from a coffee shop parking lot, without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process…. Holding someone against their will while refusing to tell them why, or denying them access to contact anyone, is a constitutional violation

BREAKING🚨 ICE just arrested 10,000 people in five days. That's 2,000 human beings taken every single day — the highest ever in Trump’s presidency. The five-day run started on Friday and ended Tuesday. The numbers weren't announced. They came from someone with access to data the agency has not made public, because ICE doesn't release its arrest figures at all, as The New York Times's Hamed Aleaziz first reported. Let’s start by comparing it to what came before. December had been the busiest month of the whole deportation drive, and it averaged 1,283 arrests a day. In January, when officers flooded Minneapolis, the national average was about 1,212. By February it had dropped to 1,057. Now they're pushing close to 2,000 a day, and they're doing it quietly. The loud, camera-ready sweeps in major cities are gone. What replaced them is faster, colder, and harder to see. Nobody would say where these 10,000 arrests happened. There's a reason they went quiet. Minneapolis became a breaking point after two American citizens were killed by immigration officers while protesting the crackdown there. The flashy raids that got splashed across the department's own social media feeds started drawing too much blood and too many cameras. So the strategy shifted. Fewer clashes on video. More people gone before anyone notices. The Department of Homeland Security says it's targeting murderers, gang members, and predators, promising it will find you, arrest you, and deport you. But the agency has offered no proof that the 10,000 swept up in five days fit that description, and its own numbers tell a different story. ICE detention climbed to roughly 39,000 people in June after sitting near 30,000 since February. That's 9,000 more people locked up in a month, in a system already straining to give anyone a bond hearing or a lawyer.
