ICE deports family, including deaf boy who wasnβt given his assistive devices β Guardian US
California state superintendent says mother and sons arrested during ICE check-in and deported to Colombia
Sigh. Transferring people and not timely updating the ICE detainee locator or telling family or lawyers where they are has long been a tactic of enforced disappearance used by DHS to hinder the filing of habeas petitions to defend rights. This is just one recent example: apple.news/AhOtuCu2FTby...
