These CBP officers who’re making up evidence for innocent legal/documented immigrants, what are they thinking? Or is there some kind of central source making up digital evidence?
Unless you can figure out someway to remove the quotas CBP is going to continue to falsify evidence so that they can make their quotas.
There's a similar issue with many police departments where they function as revenue generating so officers have quotas for traffic tickets they have to write and the same effect occurs (but just monetarily fine not deportations).
The mental gymnastics to think that way and accept the current administration “selected group” must be something of olympic level.
Why aren’t these good people quitting if they are just following orders they don’t agree with. There was ignorance about this kind of thing that was an excuse to follow orders back in 1930s but that excuse is no longer a “whoopsie get out of jail free” card.
If you know someone participating don’t let them pretend we all agree they’re “just protecting their country”. They’re not.
I'm guessing... quotas? With significant economic incentive, official or otherwise?
> Or is there some kind of central source making up digital evidence?
This seems to be, by far, the most important question, and is kinda the buried lede here. Is anyone investigating this?
It raises a real question: can a free society survive in a digital age amidst a legal system which proscribes particular strings of data? It's so trivial to frame, much moreso than physical evidence. The evidence can be manufactured, as you suggest, without even the low-level agent performing the enforcement action realize that it is synthetic. It seems like an end-around the entire legal system.
To make up evidence en masse seems a whole other level
It seems that everyone on that ship was having their work visas revoked regardless, and on the way out, the authorities were trying to find out how many they could charge with a crime as well.
Yet, people voted for trump. As much as it hurts to say this, America is truly a fallen country as evidenced by the hateful people.
