It’s now common knowledge that ICE agents have strict quotas they must hit. Senior Trump official Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demand that 3,000 people every day be snatched off the streets, with a furious Miller threatening to fire any ICE officials thought to be slacking.
As you might imagine, this inevitably involves paranoid ICE agents making mistakes as they frantically try to up their numbers. And that’s how we get a 15-year-old boy with no criminal record being sent to Trump’s Alligator Alcatraz and being imprisoned with grown men who’re supposed to be “some of the most vicious” people around.
