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.

    I think they’re setting this up to be a whole bunch of nothing. Their current plan is to just tell the states to deport everyone. States don’t do shit on behalf of the federal government for free. If the fed doesn’t pay, the states say no way. So a few red states will deport some people but then he’ll go start to blaming dem states for cock blocking him.

    Don’t get me wrong, this will destroy the lives of thousands of people and be a stain on our nation. But no way they’re deporting 20,000,000.
