Commenters are accusing the US administration of obscuring the scale of its immigration enforcement expansion. Beyond unmarked vehicles and masked agents, they point to the 287(g) program, which deputises local law enforcement to act for ICE, making federal immigration arrests harder to identify. Critics are calling this the 'invisibilizing' of immigration enforcement, arguing it erodes accountability and blurs the line between local police and federal agents.
Why now: Ongoing concern over the Trump administration's expanded ICE operations and its use of local police partnerships under 287(g).
