Why are so many flights out of Albuquerque NM, it’s more than all the flights out of Texas combined. It also seems like places like Guatemala and Honduras get more than one flight per day.
Evil as ICE no doubt is, I think the framing as "shuffles" to separate families and undermine due process as the intention is likely wrong even if that's a side-effect.
If you had to fill 20 flights going to various countries you'd quickly realizing that the people going to say India are all over the place. So what do you do? You run a hub and spoke model just like airlines do. And that's exactly what the data shows...a low number of specific airports with large number of intl outbound removals...and tons of country internal transfers. Hub and Spoke.
You wouldn’t need such massive deportation system and thus optimizing it into hub and spoke if you had due process - most deportations are self deportations people sign under the duress of the conditions ICE put them into, and thus no due process.
What we have here is a buildout of the due process violation system not a due process implementation system.
This was the first link in. Quick web search: CBP claims about 3/4 of deportations were self-directed (CBP was paying $1-3K per self-deportee). This does not include people who simply leave on their own which ICE tells people to do.
How does that explain ICE moving people to different jurisdictions against explicit judicial orders not to do so, and overwhelmingly to admin-friendly jurisdictions?
This is a very typical strategy of authoritarians. Typical enough to be named by Arendt: "Rule of Nobody."
