NEW: @ACLU obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols," or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.
This will be in tomorrow's Border Update but deserves its own separate post:
Profiles of 15 young Venezuelan men shipped off to El Salvador's prisons last Saturday. None of them seem to be gang members—not at all.

Reporters: STOP WRITING VENEZUELAN NATIONALS WERE DEPORTED TO EL SALVADOR. Deportation is a specific legal process, one these men didn't go through. When we describe what happened as deportation, we fail to convey just how unprecedented this situation truly is.
Do better.

"No law requires H.H.S. to publicly report the deaths of unaccompanied children in its care, and there’s reason to doubt that the agency will do so voluntarily."
Herrera points out what so few know. Took a while, but I've built a database of migrant children's deaths in custody.
Starting in a few minutes, the House Oversight Committee will be holding a hearing with mayors of several cities which have policies limiting the use of local law enforcement resources to help ICE. I'll be live-tweeting the hearing at this thread. Follow along here!

There's no doubt that border crossings are down, but this 93% figure is deceptive; it likely includes "encounters" at ports of entry where people were using the CBP One app process to legally enter. Ending that system unilaterally dropped border "encounters" by 1,450 a day.
