Marsha Blackburn Wants Secret Police
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R–Tenn.) introduced a bill Wednesday that would make it a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison to publish the name of a federal law enforcement officer with the intent to obstruct an investigation. Blackburn unveiled the "Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act" as masked Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are carrying out nationwide raids under the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts. These raids have sparked public protests and pushback from local officials, including Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell, who has released records of local police interactions with ICE that include the names of ICE agents. "Blue city mayors are doing everything they can to obstruct the Trump administration's efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens," Blackburn said in a press release. "Just last week, Nashville Mayor O'Connell and his office doxxed federal law enforcement officers after the Trump administration worked with Tennessee Highway Patrol to arrest criminal illegal aliens." However, press freedom groups say the bill raises serious First Amendment concerns. "Public oversight and accountability relies on accurate news about law enforcement activity," Gabe Rottman, vice president of policy at the Reporter's Committee for Freedom of the Press tells Reason. "The bill is dangerously overbroad and could be used to chill newsgathering and reporting that is clearly in the public interest." Government employees, including law enforcement officers, generally don't have the presumption of privacy when it comes to information such as their names, salaries, and business conducted in public. Nevertheless, that hasn't stopped police and politicians from accusing people of "doxxing" officers for releasing public information. Last month, ICE agents stormed a house in Irvine, California, executing a search warrant for a man accused of putting up flyers around Los Angeles with photos, names, and phone numbers of several ICE agents operating in the area. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment from Reason to state what law the man was accused of violating. While the requirement in Blackburn's proposed law for an intent to obstruct an investigation would appear to provide some safeguard against abuse, Blackburn and other Republicans' comments make clear that their goal is to insulate ICE from transparency. When asked by reporters on Friday if he was OK with ICE agents not identifying themselves, House Speaker Mike Johnson responded, "Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them? That's what these activists do." What Blackburn and Johnson's comments ignore is that an anonymous police force is an unaccountable police force. For example, when New York City's Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) attempted to investigate the hundreds of complaints of police brutality and misconduct during the 2020 George Floyd protests, it was forced to close a third of the cases because it couldn't identify the officers involved. The CCRB noted that it faced "unprecedented challenges in investigating these complaints" due to officers covering their names and badge numbers, failing to turn on their body-worn cameras, and failing to file reports. Of course, it's already functionally impossible to sue a federal law enforcement officer for a civil rights violation thanks to the Supreme Court's evisceration of the Bivens doctrine, but the normalization of anonymous federal agents will further immunize them from other forms of oversight such as media, inspector general, and congressional investigations. There are already laws on the books to handle those who threaten federal officers or interfere in investigations. It's essential for government transparency, public trust, and the rule of law that the officials dictating and enforcing public policies can be identified by media outlets and citizens without fear of retribution.

ICE officers stuck in Djibouti shipping container with deported migrants
Three officers and eight detainees arrived at the only US military base in Africa unprepared for what awaited them. Defense officials warned them of 'imminent danger of rocket attacks from terrorist groups in Yemen,' but the ICE officers did not pack body armor or other gear to protect themselves. Temperatures soar past 100 degrees during the day. At night, she wrote, a 'smog cloud' forms in the windless sky, filled with rancid smoke from nearby burning pits where residents incinerate trash and human waste. Advertisement The Trump administration has urged the Supreme Court to stay Murphy's April order requiring screenings under the Convention Against Torture, which Congress ratified in 1994 to bar the US government from sending people to countries where they might face torture. In a filing in that case Thursday, officials told the Supreme Court that Murphy's order violates their authority to deport immigrants to third countries if their homelands refuse to take them back, particularly if they are serious offenders who might otherwise be released in the United States. Advertisement Officials said the conditions in Djibouti highlight the dangers of Murphy's order. 'A small number of ICE personnel are currently guarding dangerous criminals around-the-clock in a converted conference room, under threat of rocket attacks and other security and health hazards — disrupting the base's operations, consuming critical resources intended for service members, and harming national security,' Solicitor General D. John Sauer said in the filing. In her declaration, Harper said officers and detainees began to suffer symptoms of a bacterial upper respiratory infection soon after deplaning, including 'coughing, difficulty breathing, fever, and achy joints.' Medication wasn't immediately available. She wrote that the flight nurse has since obtained treatments such as inhalers, Tylenol, eye drops, and nasal spray, but they cannot get tested for the illness to properly treat it. 'It is unknown how long the medical supply will last,' Harper wrote. The officers spend their days guarding eight immigrants convicted of crimes that include murder, attempted murder, sex offenses, and armed robbery, court records show. Harper said Defense Department employees 'have expressed frustration' about staying in close proximity to violent offenders. Harper said ICE has had to deploy more officers available to work in 'deleterious' conditions to give the initial crew a break. Currently 11 officers are assigned to guard the immigrants and two others 'support the medical staff,' she said. They work 12-hour shifts guarding immigrants, taking them to get medication and to use the restroom and the shower in a nearby trailer, one at a time. Officers pat down the detainees, searching them for contraband. Advertisement At night and on breaks, officers sleep on bunk beds in a trailer, with one storage locker apiece. Some wear N95 masks even while they sleep because the air is so polluted it irritates their throats and makes it difficult to breathe. The area is dimly lit, which Harper wrote poses a security risk to the officers. Department of Homeland Security officials seized on the court filings to criticize the judge. 'This Massachusetts District judge is putting the lives of our ICE law enforcement in danger by stranding them in [Djibouti] without proper resources, lack of medical care, and terrorists who hate Americans running rampant,' said DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin on X. 'Our @ICEgov officers were only supposed to transport for removal 8 *convicted criminals* with *final deportation orders* who were so monstrous and barbaric that no other country would take them. This is reprehensible and, quite frankly, pathological.' But a lawyer for the detainees said they are also worried about their health, whether they are shackled and, the circumstances that DHS has created for them. 'We're increasingly concerned about the conditions of the detainees,' said Trina Realmuto, an attorney for the deportees. Murphy had said DHS abruptly launched the deportation flight even though it plainly violated his April 18 preliminary injunction barring them from removing people without due process. Federal law prohibits sending anyone — even criminals — to countries where they might be persecuted or tortured. Advertisement Although McLaughlin said officials couldn't deport them to their home countries, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a news conference last month that the US government did not inform her of the Mexican national sent to Djibouti, Jesus Munoz Gutierrez, who was convicted of second-degree murder in Florida 20 years ago, court records show.

ICE can remove undocumented immigrants from courts, but not yet seen in Lake County
While several U.S. communities have seen Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers waiting to detain defendants outside court hearings, Lake County hasn't experienced that yet. A spokesperson for the U.S. department said in a statement that ICE officers are permitted to conduct 'civil immigration enforcement in or near courthouses' with credible information. 'The memorandum gives further procedures and responsibilities for ICE officers to conduct civil immigration enforcement actions against targeted aliens discreetly to minimize their impact on court proceedings, avoid unnecessarily alarming the public or disrupting court operations, and avoid enforcement actions in or near courthouses, or areas within courthouses that are wholly dedicated to non-criminal proceedings,' the statement said. To remove an undocumented immigrant, a judge has to sign off on an order of removal, said Vanessa Cruz Nichols, an assistant professor of political science at Indiana University. Under President Trump, Cruz Nichols said a new ICE tactic has been to wait outside immigration court hearings to deport people who, in most cases, had their cases dropped — meaning they could remain in the country. The Indiana Capital Chronicle reported May 30 that federal officials are considering Camp Atterbury in south central Indiana as a temporary holding site for immigrant detainees. No official announcement has yet been made. President Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions of people, staging the 'largest deportation operation in American history.' Stars and Stripes — a news source from the U.S. military — reported Thursday that the National Guard is prepared to provide more than 20,000 troops to 'crack down on immigration.' Army officials say they don't yet know the role that National Guard members will play, Stars and Stripes reported, but 'troop involvement would be legal and in line with training.' As of Monday, no one in Lake County had been taken by ICE when going to court, Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez said in a statement. Martinez does not know how many people have been detained by ICE or at risk of detention. 'As the elected Lake County Sheriff, I took an oath to enforce the law and I'm committed to collaborating with our federal partners to do so,' Martinez said in a statement. 'Those who break the law in Lake County, regardless of immigration status, will be brought to justice. I take the safety of all of our citizens seriously and will continue to work tirelessly to ensure their well-being.' The goal of waiting outside the hearings, Cruz Nichols said, is to follow Trump's directive to remove people who have been in the U.S. for about two years with temporary status and told to follow up for routine appointments in immigration court. 'The Trump 2.0 administration doesn't see any of those cases really being legitimate,' Cruz Nichols said. 'These new plans adopted under the Trump administration are quite different and quite a big deviation from what he had in his first administration and what we've seen previous presidents do.' With ICE waiting to arrest and deport people outside of immigration hearings, Cruz Nichols said it will break down trust of authority figures in immigrant communities. 'It makes these routine court hearings very high risk. People will end up avoiding these appointments and hearings as a result if they feel like they are being staked out by ICE agents,' Cruz Nichols said. 'People should be able to attend important court cases, advocating for their rights, their due process, without fear of being arrested, detained or deported outside of the court.' Typically, if police discover that someone they arrested is an undocumented immigrant, then local sheriff officials notify ICE, Cruz Nichols said. Depending on the local county resources and its jail capacity, as well as the crime committed, an undocumented immigrant could be held for weeks or a few days before being released if an ICE agent didn't come, she said. Each day, the sheriff's department provides a list of non-citizen inmates to ICE, who then notifies the department of which inmates they request to be held on a detainer, Martinez said. Then the department receives the detainer, serves it and places a hold in the system. ICE has 48 hours to take the person into custody or the sheriff's department will release them after they become eligible for release. ICE agents could obtain a judicial warrant, which is signed by a judge, listing the person's name and address, to detain and deport someone, Cruz Nichols said. A judicial warrant allows the ICE agents to enter the address listed on the warrant, which could be the person's home or workplace. ICE agents could also obtain an administrative warrant, Cruz Nichols said, but that's more vague and only lists a person's name but no specific address to pick them up and it isn't signed by a judge. 'Those administrative warrants are not sufficient for an ICE agent to use that at like a church or at a public space claiming they can enter those spaces. They can't do that with an administrative warrant. They could do that if they have a judicial warrant,' Cruz Nichols said. Many activist organizations have been working with undocumented immigrants to let them know that if ICE doesn't have a judicial warrant, they don't have to open the door if agents come knocking, Cruz Nichols said. An administrative warrant is easier to obtain, Cruz Nichols said, and it's an intimidation tactic because many undocumented immigrants just see an official piece of paper but don't know it's not signed by a judge. 'It's an easier thing to request from the agency than a specific, targeted, more onerous judicial warrant that provides the address information, provides the signature by the judge,' Cruz Nichols said.
