“The Houston office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is one of the most reliable engines of America’s deportation machine. Even before Donald Trump took office a second time, with the goal of 1 million immigrant expulsions in a year, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office was deporting 12,000 to 15,000 people annually, according to its director, Bret Bradford. Bradford — a darling of right-wing deportation coverage, from the New York Post to Fox News — touts his determination to ‘restore law and order in our communities.’ … Scores of internal documents reviewed by The Intercept paint a different picture and suggest a commitment to safety and law and order may stop at the entrance to ICE’s Houston Field Office.” (06/03/25)
