'Are They Going After The Worst Of The Worst?': Deborah Ross Questions Immigration Expert About ICE
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Deborah Ross questioned immigration policy expert David Bier about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention practices under the Trump administration. Bier stated that 74% of individuals booked into ICE facilities are classified as having no threat level, contradicting the administration's claim that they are targeting only violent criminals. He also noted that resources have been diverted from combating issues like fentanyl trafficking to focus on mass deportations.
The hearing raises concerns about the allocation of taxpayer dollars and law enforcement resources, potentially impacting public safety by diverting attention from serious criminal investigations to the detention of individuals with no criminal records.
The hearing also touched on sanctuary cities, the private prison industry and its conditions, and private prison stock trades by Donald Trump.
