Do you feel it's appropriate for ICE to arrest people in front of the courthouses when they show up to defend themselves?

@calicuz

So the FBI and HSI have never made an arrest in America? Nor have any jurisdiction?

🤡🤡🤡

@Thrust It's from Co-Pilot so what do I know??....but I'd say 70% certainty is pretty bad when dealing with peoples lives


- ICE Releases After Arrest in 2025: What’s Known
While ICE has not published comprehensive release statistics for 2025, watchdog groups like the Deportation Data Project have pieced together key insights from FOIA requests and leaked datasets:
📊 Estimated National Totals (Oct 2020–July 2025)
• Arrests: ~527,000
• Detentions: ~1.1 million
• Removals/Deportations: ~765,000
This implies that hundreds of thousands of individuals were released after arrest, either:
• Pending immigration court hearings
• Due to lack of criminal charges
• Because they qualified for alternatives to detention (ATD)
🧾 Alternatives to Detention (ATD)
• Includes ankle monitors, phone check-ins, and home visits.
• Used for individuals deemed low flight risk or with family/community ties.
• ATD participation has grown significantly since 2021, though exact 2025 numbers remain unpublished.
⚖ Why Are People Released?
• Legal status review: Some are found to be lawfully present.
• No deportable offense: Especially in cases of mistaken identity or outdated records.
• Humanitarian reasons: Health, age, or family considerations.
• Court orders: Judges may order release if detention is unjustified.
ICE’s lack of transparency since early 2025 makes precise release counts difficult to verify, but the scale of detentions vs. deportations strongly suggests that hundreds of thousands have been released post-arrest.

@calicuz If they were never arrested they wouldn't be in court would they??

@Thrust

Once again you read my words, but did not pay attention. The FBI make arrests all the time, but only after investigating a crime and having evidence to make an arrest. I specifically stated that federal agencies roles are not to police the country.
Please pay attention so you can stop embarrassing yourself.

@kodiac

My friend, people go to Court Houses everyday in this country to obtain marriage licenses. Just because someone is in a court house doesn't mean they're being accused of a crime.

@calicuz but if they are a criminal being there for any reason gets a free pass? I'll ask again is there some special place where criminals have to go to be arrested? If you're a criminal you can be arrested anywhere. If they haven't committed a crime they won't be arrested will they ?

@calicuz wait, the FBI does have law enforcement as routine, but in my experience, always in cooperation with local law enforcement. Response to local crime is not usually in their wheelhouse.

@calicuz

This is not for that dingaling. And you know it. It's for when they come for their hearing, and it fails thus they get a deportation order
