The Trump Administration Now Has Tons Of DACA Data And Is Poised To Weaponize It

DREAMers trusted the government with their information. Immigration agents could now use it to expedite their deportations.

DACA recipients – often called DREAMers – are facing a new nightmare. According to the Trump administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers may use the information these people gave the government as a means of gaining temporary protection to, instead, find and deport them.

In deportation proceedings, the government must prove that the person they want deported is in the U.S. illegally. That can sometimes be tough. DACA recipients – nearly 800,000 of them – gave the Department of Homeland Security information proving they are undocumented so they could get relief from the threat of deportation. They also gave the government information about where they live, work, and go to school. As soon as Donald Trump was elected, immigrants’ rights activists started asking what his administration would do with that information.

In a memo, the Department of Homeland Security answered this question. And its statement – full of wordy legalese – made clear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers will be able to use DACA recipients’ personal information to deport them.

“Information provided to USCIS in DACA requests will not be proactively provided to ICE and CBP for the purpose of immigration enforcement proceedings, unless the requestor meets the criteria for the issuance of a Notice To Appear or a referral to ICE under the criteria set forth in USCIS’ Notice to Appear guidance,” said the statement.

In other words, USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency which handles DACA) won’t proactively give immigration enforcement officers a list with the names and addresses of all DACA recipients. But if ICE officers ask for it, the agency will provide it.

October 26-28, [1938]
Germany expel approximately 18,000 stateless Jews of Polish origin who were previously residing within the borders of the Reich. Among them are the parents of Herschel Grynszpan, who will take revenge in Paris by shooting and fatally wounding German Embassy diplomat, Ernst vom Rath, on November 7.

November 12
The German government issues the Decree on the Elimination of the Jews from Economic Life (Verordnung zur Ausschaltung der Juden aus dem deutschen Wirtschaftsleben), barring Jews from operating retail stores, sales agencies, and from carrying on a trade. The law also forbids Jews from selling goods or services at an establishment of any kind.

November 15
German authorities ban the attendance of Jewish children in German public schools. Jewish children can attend only segregated Jewish schools that are financed and managed by the Jewish communities.

December 3
The German government issues the Decree on the Utilization of Jewish Property (Verordnung über den Einsatz des jüdischen Vermögens), making “aryanization” of all Jewish businesses compulsory. German authorities force Jews to sell immovable property, businesses, and stocks to non-Jews, usually at prices far below market value.

This all sounds depressingly familiar.

So much for getting those 'bad hombres', instead of MS-13 he is going to have ICE go to schools and rip kids away from the only life they know. He is such a sick bastard. So much winning.
