ICE's Detained Population Now at Record 61,226 People ICE's latest data show record detention numbers, growing GPS ankle monitor usage, and dip in arrests since June. austinkocher.substack.com/p/ices-detaine…
My parents took me out of a country where this was the norm and where it led to the execution and imprisonment of millions of innocent people. They brought me here, to America, believing that it would not happen here. And yet here we are.
The cavalier way in which this justice talks about being tackled and beaten by the state for refusing to speak to a cop should shock Americans out of their slumber. Our free society is in full collapse and the fact that it’s been slipping for decades is no excuse.
Breaking Down the Latest Record Immigration Detention Numbers My recent Substack Live covered record immigration detention numbers—over 61,000 people, the highest in U.S. history—plus a community exercise for exploring local data. Listen/watch now: austinkocher.substack.com/p/live-breakin…
