When Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents go to homes and the community to arrest non-citizens, it’s common for them to lie about who they are and what they want from the individuals they encounter.
The lies are called “ruses.”

I post the above not to downplay what ICE is doing but to emphasize that “ICE ruses” are nothing new. In fact, that ICE is using them is arguably a sign that the agency is shifting away from the more aggro Bovino-style tactics and back to their old ones.

If you're curious to learn more, check out the incredible @immdefenseproject.bsky.social resource on ICE ruses, which they've been updating for more than a decade. I remember being so grateful it existed when the situation above happened to my client, because it validated my "WTF" to the situation.

the thing about putting dumb horny straight white guys in charge of everything - a state that Hegseth et al are furiously attempting to return to - is that they are the easiest people on Planet Earth to manipulate by means of blindingly obvious ruses

Forget the journalistic frustration for people like me and Carole that most ignored the Banks revelations, Russian links and Cottrell PayPal ruses, 7 or 8 years ago. More important is that Farage doubled up with his double dealings in the years since, because of sense of impunity

The scariest Nazi Germany-adjacent thing happening right now is the courts treating the Trump administration's legal-ish justifications for power grabs, subversion of basic rights, and militarism as good-faith legal arguments, despite overwhelming evidence that those justifications are ruses.
