Chicago community members & lawyers requested surveillance footage from the ICE facility to prove the inhumane conditions of those detained. DHS destroyed two weeks of that footage‼️

Will surveillance technologies ever keep us safe when law enforcement is the only agency that has the keys to it? 🤔

"Defendants have indicated that some video between October 19, 2025 and October 31, 2025 has been irretrievably destroyed and therefore cannot be produced on an expedited basis or at all."

Trump has increased weapons spending by 600% for ICE. YES, 600%

This is how Trump is strengthening his private army while eliminating programs like SNAP.

As for the destabilization and harm to low-income communities of color, well...that's just a side benefit for this administration.

“We should not have to go to federal court to force the government to hand over these records,” said Ian Head, Manager of the Open Records Project at @ccrjustice.org.

“This administration wants to hide its abusive, Orwellian behavior, but we are fighting back.”

Both ICE and CBP have improperly withheld the requested records while expanding their invasive and often abusive crackdown on both immigrants and those protesting on their behalf.

The requests cite the compelling need of immigrants, their families, and the public at large to know if and to what extent the government is using these spying tools to violate the First and Fourth Amendments, various federal statutes, and due process rights.
