Detention & Deaths

AP is first to report massive disappearance of names from online immigrant detainee locator

Through exclusive and investigative reporting by Ryan J. Foley, The Associated Press was first to reveal that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed thousands of detainees with final removal orders from its public locator system on September 15.

The change was confirmed by three current and former ICE officials speaking on condition of anonymity. Leveraging deep subject-matter expertise and key sources, Foley reported that those affected included eight Somali men held at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. American Civil Liberties Union attorney My Khanh Ngo noted the policy change could make challenging deportations “nearly impossible.”^[1]

The law firm Romanucci & Blandin said Thursday (local time) that it filed the suit in federal court in Minnesota on behalf of Renee's same-sex spouse, Becca Good, their children, and Renee's brother Brent Ganger, naming the US federal government as the defendant. The family also filed separate lawsuits against ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fired the fatal shots, as well as other federal agents and administration officials — including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, widely credited with designing the administration's immigration policy; former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem; and White House border czar Thomas Homan.
