You need to have reasonable suspicion to stop someone and question them.
But then you need to have what's called probable cause to actually take them into your custody.
You can't reasonably suspect that someone's in the country illegally just because they're Hispanic.
But what the Supreme Court has said recently is that you can actually take a number of those profiling factors.
Let's say you're Hispanic and you look terrified when you see the ICE officer.
That suddenly now does rise to the level of reasonable suspicion to then stop someone and say, OK, do you have proof of your citizenship?
Yeah, this is a huge deal.
Typically in the past, you would need the sign-off of a judge who sort of independently evaluated the evidence and decided that level of force was needed.
But ICE has just decided we need to be making more arrests.
We're going to disregard that.
And we're going to argue that this administrative warrant that ICE itself produces is enough to force down someone's door.
break in and arrest them.
ICE is moving quickly to try to deport people as fast as they can, because once someone is out of the country, it's harder to force ICE to bring them back.
They have admitted to wrongly deporting multiple people.
There are lots of sorts of procedural and human rights arguments that people can make when you're in ICE custody in the United States to say your detention is illegal, to get you out of ICE custody on bond, for example.
But once you've been deported, your recourse is very limited.
I haven't really done the proportionality, but because ICE is just so much more ubiquitous and visible now, it does mean that they're getting into more of these confrontations with people.
And so most famously, you have the shooting death of Rene Good.
And we've seen a really high number of deaths in ICE detention.
And that's partially because there are just so many more people in ICE detention.
