Speaking of lies to support wide-spread abuses of power and abuses of people, it is worth noting that on March 18, the DOJ filed with the court a DOJ notice and declaration by an employee of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to the ICE declaration, Trump's Proclamation (that America was at that moment being subjected to an “invasion” or “predatory incursion”) was posted at about 4:00 p.m. Saturday.
So ICE (not any part of our Armed Forces) is defending the U.S. against the proclaimed invasion or predatory incursion. How is ICE doing so? Within about 3 1/2 hours after Trump’s proclamation was published, ICE immediately hustled an unspecified number of people onto three airplanes to be flown out of U.S. jurisdiction. The ICE declaration did not reveal the number, but it reportedly was about 140 people.
The ICE declaration also implied that the first two planes were loaded with people who were deported “solely on the basis of” Trump’s “Proclamation.” ICE declared that “all individuals on [the] third plane had Title 8 final removal orders and thus were not removed solely on the basis of [Trump's mere] Proclamation.”
ICE declared that approximately 250 additional people were potential deportees. In the DOJ notice accompanying the ICE declaration, the Trump administration refused to publicly disclose any other “estimates as to the number of individuals” comprising the “invasion” or “predatory incursion” force that was the subject to the Proclamation. The Trump administration argued that providing such information would “disclose sensitive information bearing on national security and foreign relations.”
Nothing in ICE's declaration supports Trump’s proclamation that the U.S. is being attacked in an “invasion” or “predatory incursion” that could justify the lack of process and lack of transparency on Saturday. Trump invoked broad war powers for use regarding mere routine immigration and criminal matters.
