The portion of arrests that were collateral nearly doubled during the surge compared to previous months: From September to November, around 19% of the 528 arrests recorded in Minnesota were collateral.

This is exactly Republican policy

In the seven days after Ansari and Stanton told ICE they would be visiting the facility — members of Congress are allowed to inspect facilities, but ICE policy requires they give seven days’ notice before arriving — the number of detainees began to decrease to some of the lowest numbers the facility had seen all year.

He later removed a separate canister that had become stuck underneath someone using a wheelchair and tossed it away. Shortly after, Taylor said, an agent snatched him and pinned him to the ground as several other agents piled on top of him. Agents eventually placed him in a car and drove away from the facility, driving through protesters who tried to block them from leaving. Taylor jumped in a truck to try to follow Caravello, but agents threw tear gas through the vehicle’s window, she said. By the time she recovered, Caravello was gone.

The letter is the first time ICE has indicated it is using Graphite. The agency initially signed a $2 million contract with Paragon Solutions for an unspecified software product at the end of the Biden administration. But the contract was swiftly paused until it was revived by the Trump administration last fall.
