People are rightfully concerned that ICE is being given too much power over citizens in the U.S. as we’ve seen countless innocents be arrested and harmed by officers despite complying. When asked by a reporter, ICE Associate Director Marcos Charles failed to give an adequate answer as to whether Americans can trust his agents’ so-called “targeted” enforcement.
When asked by 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega how ICE decides who to question suspects, Charles explained that agents were conducting “targeted enforcement looking for the worst of the worst.” He also told Vega that if agents were to encounter anybody in the area they were targeting “they have been authorized to anybody that’s around there and establish citizenship.”
