"There are documented cases of American citizens being harassed by ICE, of non-citizens being stopped randomly simply based on maybe they have an accent, maybe they happen to be in a particular place, like near an airport working for Uber. And at the very least, it raises questions about whether people's constitutional rights are being violated. And if that is the case, isn't it justified for Americans to be concerned about that?"
"CNN's Scott Jennings argued that ICE deserves a ticker-tape parade to celebrate what he described as its 99.9997% success rate during a heated Thursday evening debate. So, according to the reporting, there have been 170 American citizens who have been detained for some period of time during this period in which they have deported about 660,000 illegal aliens, replied Jennings. That's about a 99.9997% success rate. If any other government agency got stuff that right, that often, we'd be throwing them a ticker-tape parade!"
The Department of Homeland Security faces lawsuits alleging illegal stops by ICE, including claims of American citizens being harassed. Allegations include non-citizens being stopped based on accent or presence in certain places, such as rideshare drivers near airports. During the period in question, about 660,000 people were deported while 170 American citizens were detained for some time. That ratio was characterized as a 99.9997% success rate, and a ticker-tape parade was suggested as praise for such accuracy.
