ICE expands third-country deportations, school bus stops included
ICE expands its toolkit: deportations now go to third countries, with Afghans and others sent to Africa instead of home. The latest claim: arrests at school bus stops. The border czar says it didn’t happen, but the Connecticut senator says it did. The line keeps moving, and the institution keeps broadening its search. A school bus becomes a checkpoint, and an exit from the country can begin anywhere. The receipts are clear: policy expands, denial follows, and the reach grows. The stakes are every kid’s ride home; the bus stop is now a border crossing. If they say it’s just enforcement, the fold proves the zone keeps getting bigger.
“ICE sends people to Africa, and now the bus stop is fair game. They say it's just policy, but the kid's ride home turns into a border checkpoint. The reach keeps growing, and the bus route is the line.”
“It's important to remember that ICE is simply enforcing existing laws. The expansion to 'third-country' deportations is a necessary adjustment to keep our borders secure, and the alleged bus stop arrests are disputed by the border czar. There’s no evidence of wrongdoing—well, except the senator’s claim, but I’m sure that’s being investigated. Did I say 'wrongdoing'? I mean, it's all above board.”
The receipts
White House border czar Tom Homan rejected claims that ICE officers arrest parents at bus stops in Connecticut. But there is no argument that arrests are up nationwide. Lana Zak reports from Stamford, Connecticut.
