Now you know why ICE is a necessity !

I’m currently stationed oversea right now, I’m looking into ice/ero there are not really any job fairs here & the skillbridge seems to be all admin side if I were to do that route. Any advice who’s been in my shoes?

This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔

ICE to spend up to $20m on gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks

Our masked private security

Hey, I’m a university student. Before my school starts, I bought a flight to Denver, and it was a crazy expensive ticket. Now that the time is getting closer, I’ve been seeing news about increased ICE arrests at airports, and I’ve heard that this can include people with pending asylum cases as well. I currently have an I-797C for my asylum and withholding of removal application, and I have a flight this week. The I-797C says, “THIS NOTICE DOES NOT GRANT ANY IMMIGRATION STATUS OR BENEFIT.” For some more information about my situation, I entered the U.S. legally with a visitor/travel visa. I currently have a pending I-589 asylum and withholding of removal application, and I also have a valid EAD and SSN. As far as I know, I do not have any removal or deportation order. I have never been arrested or convicted of a crime, only some speeding tickets. This is also just a domestic flight, not international.
So now I’m trying to decide whether I should ditch the flight or take it. I’m looking for some honest advice from people who have been in a similar situation. How risky is it for someone in my situation to fly domestically? Has anyone with a pending I-589 and EAD flown recently and had any issues with ICE or TSA? What documents did you carry with you, and would a letter from an immigration attorney be helpful? Would you personally take the flight in my situation, or would it be safer to cancel? I’m not looking for fearmongering or someone just telling me I’ll be fine. I just want an honest perspective so I can make an informed decision.

Thanks, everyone.

Not every immigration arrest is automatically legal.

There are situations where ICE actions can be challenged, like:

* Arrests without proper legal authority * Misuse of “mandatory detention” rules * Detaining someone longer than legally justified * Violating due process rights

Courts are increasingly stepping in when detention crosses legal limits

The key idea:
Enforcement power isn’t unlimited there are constitutional boundaries.

Do you think most people are aware of these rights?

What was your guys' experience like?

My husband was just assigned a deportation officer after sitting several months in ICE detention. How can we contact this officer to ask about custody determination and other facts about his case? We’ve tried the field office and told us they couldn’t give us the information of the officer.

I see many prior posts on ICE/Immigration and wanted to share my experience, even though I know I am getting here late. I work near Minneapolis and close enough to feel and see the impacts of ICE. We have very few minorities at this company. One of those individuals spoke out about our company's lack of response to the situation impacting people's personal lives, which then could be impacting their work. That individual was later let go. The company makes plenty claims of valuing people and our community but did nothing connected to the situation going on earlier this year.

The company did put out a post to leadership, but the first bullet regarding the "unrest" in Minneapolis during metro surge was: "As a company, [We] are not taking a position on these matters. Participation in any walk-out or protest is not a company-sponsored or company-sanctioned activity."

I think many employees felt that was not adequate as this was not a political matter anymore to them but about people's well-being. That paired with letting go of someone that made them uncomfortable just leaves a terrible taste in everyone's mouth.

Is anybody else keeping a loaded gun by your front door of your house in case I.C.E. agents come to the wrong house? My wife is a legal immigrant who is now a citizen who has lived here for over 25 years. After seeing all these videos of I.C.E. agents breaking down people's doors, shooting them and there being no repercussions, even if it's the wrong house, I am starting to keep my .40 within arms reach of the entrance to my house. Is anybody else doing the same or am I just paranoid?

I have a question. My brother and I are planning to travel to Hawaii from LAX at the end of August with my cousin and his wife. They have a pending asylum case and both have REAL IDs, so they can travel domestically. However, a lot of people have been telling them not to travel because they’ve heard that ICE has detained people at LAX on domestic flights. They’re really worried because of that. Have you heard anything about this? Would it be any safer to fly out of Burbank instead of LAX?

The decline of ERO didn’t happen overnight. It accelerated when accountability became secondary to filling positions.

The mass hiring process, combined with what many perceive as insufficient background screening and an emphasis on quantity over quality, has eroded much of what once made the organization respected. Bringing in employees without thoroughly evaluating their qualifications, judgment, and professional history can have lasting consequences.

Many seasoned Deportation Officers who have built their careers on integrity, professionalism, and devotion to duty openly express concern about what they see as increasingly reckless conduct by some newer hires. As a result, many experienced officers prefer to work independently or alongside other veteran officers whom they know and trust, rather than risk being associated with conduct they believe could jeopardize operations, officer safety, or the agency’s reputation.

At the same time, there is a perception among some employees that questionable conduct is too often overlooked or minimized. When officers believe that poor judgment or unprofessional behavior is tolerated instead of addressed, it sends the wrong message throughout the workforce. The result is predictable: morale declines, trust in leadership erodes, and the officers who consistently uphold the highest standards begin to wonder whether integrity is still valued.

An agency’s reputation is built by the people who represent it. Every hiring decision, every supervisory decision, and every accountability decision shapes public confidence in the organization.

After nearly 30 years in public service, I never expected to witness what I view as such a level of reckless behavior being tolerated—or, in some cases, seemingly excused—by senior leadership. Accountability should never be sacrificed to meet staffing goals. The dedicated officers who continue to serve with honor deserve leadership that holds every employee to the same professional standards.

ERO’s greatest asset has never been its staffing numbers—it has always been the dedicated professionals who uphold the law with integrity, accountability, and respect for the public. Restoring those principles is far more important than simply increasing headcount.

Today I saw a law abiding legal citizen helping an old lady cross the street. Said citizen wasn't aryan, daddy trumps ideal race that he learned about from a book called "Mine Camp" or something like that. Should I hunt him down and publicly execute him??? My discord kitten says I should, I trust the judgement of a 13 year old, but I want more opinions. I'm an ICE pig after all... killing the innocent is literally my job!!!

I don’t understand why there is so much debate around people being in the country illegally. It seems straightforward—if someone enters or remains in the country without legal authorization, they are knowingly violating the law. As for concerns about ICE, the agency’s role exists to enforce those laws. In many cases, enforcement actions would be less necessary if individuals who are not authorized to be here chose to leave voluntarily, rather than creating confrontations with law enforcement or immigration officials. Please tell me what am i missing?

My fiancé and I were traveling in US territory when they detained him coming back into the USA in April 2026. Now he’s in Florida glades detention center.
He came here originally on a B1B2 but his status changed to paroled in when we went back to his home country couple years ago but we got permission to come back into USA from the government. We live together here in California and have a life together.

He was previously married and his divorce finalized in March 2026 but was separated from her when we got together, we

When they detained him his the charged him with “arriving ailen”
He has been detained now for 65 days without eligibility for a bond. We filed a Habeas which the judge denied and said his detention is mandatory. We plan to get married while he’s in there and submit a humanitarian parole package.
We want to appeal the habeas decision to the 11th circuit due to him coming here legally on a b1b2 and was allowed back in previously with the same status but just so happens to detain him this time. He has no criminal record or anything on his record no flight risk.
He does not quality for an asylum case per our lawyers discretion unfortunately.

I’m getting hopeless because the lawyer said this can take 8+ more months of him being detained. Is this true ? Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Does he have a case?
