ICE Abuse of Power Master List

[Anonymous]

Most of us have been posting examples of clear abuses of the law by ICE under the Minnesota ICE shooting thread about Renee Good. There’s now enough of these instances of abuse to warrant a standalone thread. Please post your examples here. And by abuse, I don’t just mean physical abuse, but abuse of civil and constitutional rights, including for US citizens.

I’ll start with this plea from an immigration attorney to journalists and others who can help her get her client out of ICE detention. Her client is a US citizen and possesses a US birth certificate. Apparently that proof was not enough for ICE authorities—they sent the woman to Louisiana, which usually is the step they take before deportation.

Just to note, she finally did get out of detention, it was more than 3 weeks but less than 4. What SCOTUS called a minor inconvenience.

I can't believe how ICE is treating US military veterans. Surely they can make exceptions for veterans.

Army Veteran Godfrey Wade Faces Deportation After 50 Years in U.S.
The Jamaica native, a lawful permanent resident since his teen years, landed in hot water during a 2025 traffic stop in Georgia, where police uncovered a 2014 deportation order from a missed hearing tied to minor resolved cases from the early 2000s. His attorney is fighting with appeals and petitions to reopen the case, while family rallies support through a GoFundMe nearing $28,000 and a petition with hundreds of signatures. The situation stems from a recent policy change ending special deportation leniency for honorably discharged veterans without serious crimes, leaving Wade's future in limbo despite his service and community roots in Atlanta. (the preceding is a summary from X).

What are these 'minor resolved cases'?
"On September 18, ICE arrested Godfrey Oliver Wade, a criminal illegal alien from Jamaica. His criminal history includes domestic assault, criminal trespass, reckless conduct, deposit account fraud, violation of probation, multiple arrests for driving on a suspended license."

That language comes directly from DHS, which has zero credibility. But even if it were true, he's been here over 50 years. Why didn't any other administration, including the Bushes and Trump 1, remove him?

Here we go...now they're chipping away at our 4th amendment rights.

Federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judge’s warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press, marking a sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches. The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant to arrest someone with a final order of removal, a move that advocates say collides with Fourth Amendment protections and upends years of advice given to immigrant communities.

For years, immigrant advocates, legal aid groups and local governments have urged people not to open their doors to immigration agents unless they are shown a warrant signed by a judge. That guidance is rooted in Supreme Court rulings that generally prohibit law enforcement from entering a home without judicial approval. The ICE directive directly undercuts that advice at a time when arrests are accelerating under the administration’s immigration crackdown.
