Let’s Prosecute ICE Criminal Actions
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency under the direction of Mr.Tom Homan has been operating in violation of the international refugee agreements which the U.S. has signed and ratified, namely the 1951 Convention and its 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. These UNHCR documents require applications by international refugees to a signatory country’s courts for asylum to be considered with due process of law, including the appeal of any rejection by those courts. It has been reported that ICE agents have abducted and deported immigrants from certain foreign countries of origin virtually at the moment of rejection by immigration judges of their initial applications for asylum without even allowing their representation and counsel by qualified attorneys.
And then there’s the case of the Rodriguez family whose mother, a long-time undocumented immigrant, was abducted by ICE from her employment in Omaha (cf. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/
These are patent violations of the responsibility of the United States under those UNHCR agreements and in direct contravention of the federal law specifically adopting those agreements into the U.S. Code (the Refugee Act of 1980). The U.S. Justice Department should enforce that law, recover any illegally deported asylum-seekers or technically illegal aliens, and prosecute the offending ICE agents or directors for violating the right of a refugee to receive due process of law.
