Trump Administration Waves The White Flag In Some ICE Cases.

[0311]

The Justice Department is increasingly telling judges it can’t defend ICE’s actions.

In a growing number of cases, the Trump administration has recently begun admitting to judges it is unable to defend some of its decisions to detain immigrants.

In dozens of cases over the past several weeks, Justice Department lawyers have declined to push back on detainees’ claims that they’re owed a chance to make a case for their release. In those cases, the administration has simply agreed to provide a bond hearing, or even outright release, telling judges that officials “do not have an opposition argument to present” or saying they couldn’t cobble together enough information to mount a defense.

“Undersigned counsel was unable to obtain documentation … sufficient to provide factual support for a response,” a Justice Department attorney wrote in a March 13 response to a detainee’s lawsuit in Arizona. “Accordingly, [administration officials] do not oppose the Court ordering Petitioner to receive a bond hearing at this time.”

This is ICE's way of saying they had no grounds to detain people. ICE knows they violated the Constitutional Rights of the people they detained and are looking for a way out.

Politico doesn't lie, but you most certainly just did. So if the OP is using verifiable facts, this obviously isn't "fake news", but your comment most certainly is.

You mean THIS Politico?

• Overall, we rate Politico Left-Center biased based on story selection and editorial positions that slightly favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record.

HE must be one of those clowns that Breitbart, Drudge, Beltway Pundit and Fox News. All of which lie out the ass in every article. Politico is a respected new source. He prefers propaganda to the truth.
