After immigrants are detained by ICE, there are probably records somewhere of who has an attorney, and who is calling family members or an attorney.

For the immigrants who aren’t calling any family or lawyers, the poorest of the poor, people with little to no connection to anyone, who may not even say which country they are from, if the administration were actually trying to kill as many disconnected immigrants as possible in secret, would society know?

For example, if the administration was composed of all types of conservative people, but 30 percent were secretly Nazis or wanted racial genocide, could there be a campaign to not just remove, but kill, immigrants, and the public doesn’t find out?

    I would have thought it possible but I reckon that most of them stay in touch with family and friends back home or in the states, so there’d be a big international outcry if people were suddenly getting radio silence from their friends rounded up by ice.

    But ICE could also feasibly take away their phones - anyone know if they do this? Again, as far as I know, they don’t.
