Summary

The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demanding details on plans to implement President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation program.

The lawsuit follows ICE’s failure to respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed in August.

The ACLU seeks information on ICE’s chartered flights, transportation contracts, and facilities potentially used for deportations.

Trump has vowed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and plans to declare a national emergency to activate military resources.

Advocates warn the program could devastate immigrant communities. Investigations are ongoing.

    And, it’s also more likely that the Biden administration will cooperate giving them the information they’d need to take legal action under Trump.

      Biden does not control ICE, it’s a rogue agency that he was too pathetic to pull the plug on.
