An investigation by the Guardian revealed that ICE has allegedly manipulated the publication dates of thousands of its press releases related to deportations. This has resulted in outdated information appearing in search results, inflating fears of mass deportations amidst a climate of ICE activities in schools and workplaces. The timestamps have been changed to Jan. 24, 2025, misleadingly correlating with the Trump administration's aggressive immigration policies. Google responded, clarifying that the update impacts various content topics on its search engine, asserting that it does not intentionally boost ranking based on timestamp changes.
Thousands of ICE press releases detailing deportation operations across the U.S. have been covertly updated with new timestamps, impacting public perception and fostering fear of immigration raids.
The alteration of publication dates on ICE's website creates misleading Google search results, falsely suggesting a more extensive deportation strategy aligned with Trump-era policies.
