The Biden Administration's recent decision to impose daily quotas on ICE, requiring the arrest of up to 1,500 migrants, raises concerns about the potential for indiscriminate enforcement. Critics, including former ICE officials, argue that these quotas could lead to civil rights violations and encourage officers to target non-criminals instead of serious offenders. As the Administration faces backlash over its policies, both supporters and critics are debating the implications of these changes on immigration enforcement effectiveness and safety.
"The orders significantly increase the chance that officers will engage in more indiscriminate enforcement tactics or face accusations of civil rights violations as they strain to meet quotas, according to current and former ICE officials."
"Quotas will incentivize ICE officers to arrest the easiest people to arrest, rather than the people that are dangerous noncitizens," said Paul Hunker, a former ICE chief counsel in Dallas.
