ICE Has Only Seemed To Be Quieter Under New DHS Director Mullin
The article reports that under new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, ICE has adopted subtler tactics to avoid public outrage while significantly increasing enforcement. Arrests have surged to 2,000 per day, with over 63,000 people in custody. Deportation flights reached a record high in May, with 288 flights to 38 countries. ICE has targeted unaccompanied minors, and judges are signing over 10,000 deportation orders monthly. Asylum grants have been sharply reduced, and resistant judges fired. Mass deportation hearings involving up to 100 cases are held with little notice. DHS has also ordered employers to fire thousands of legal immigrant workers facing loss of Temporary Protected Status. Recent fatal shootings by ICE agents in Houston, Maine, and Florida have revived some scrutiny, but public outcry remains muted compared to earlier protests. The article warns that thousands have been quietly disappeared from communities, and the administration relies on public complacency.
