SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day. My report:

I can understand were it comes from, but I'm a little suspicious of any analysis more focused on who is really to blame for this situation than how to navigate it. There's a certain cheapness in focusing on "guilt" when you lack the power to stand in judgement.

It was obvious to anyone who slightly paid attention that he could not meet the quota of deporting 10, 12 million immigrants that he campaigned on that nonstop. And it was obvious that his deportation policy was always going to be a gigantic human tragedy (& top of the economic one).

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

This is about disaster capitalism. This is about heaping responsibility upon states that won't have the resources to rebuild after climate catastrophes, so that governors and municipalities will wind up making deals with billionaire devils. This is how they will create corporate fiefdoms.

Summary: - Dude is an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US - ICE abducts and "detains" him - Private "detention" facility has him doing farmwork - So he's still an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US, but now paid only $1 a day Nobody's been convicted of a crime or anything

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

Maybe they really were ICE officers. Or maybe they were a band of vigilantes, arbitrarily snatching brown-looking people off the street. All eyes are now on LA, but secret police are descending upon smaller towns nationwide too. Masked and armed, they refuse to show IDs or warrants. wapo.st/4kIGFke
