“A long running Immigration and Customs Enforcement practice is to post photos, on Instagram and other sites, of ICE detainees. Often, detainees are shown being put on an airplane for deportation. In just the first year of the administration, at least 2,000 images were posted on X, and over 30,000 immigrants were listed on a new Department of Homeland Security website. Many of the social media posts also list criminal convictions — some erroneous — which are usually posted after a prison sentence has already been served. Still others go further, mocking or disparaging immigrants based on their perceived ethnicity or national origin. … These posts are not law enforcement; they are shocking abuses of power.” (11/12/26)
