The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Twitter account “ICE Alerts,” used to post information about convicted illegal aliens, was set to private mode sometime Tuesday. The account’s last post was made on Jan. 21 with information about a failed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer in New York City. Posts are now only available to users who were following @ICEAlerts prior to the change or who are approved to follow the account by the account administrator. A majority of the posts made from the account said, “w hen jurisdictions fail to honor an @ICEgov detainer, it risks both public and officer safety, and unnecessarily expends ICE’s already-limited resources. Have you seen this #fugitive ? He is wanted by @ICEgovERO ,” followed by a photograph of the wanted person and details about their criminal history.

It's a significant development that is welcomed by advocates of the undocumented, since the long-standing use of "alien" is a not-so-subtle dog whistle that has been effectively used to dehumanize not only the undocumented, but actual American citizens. … [Read more...] about Biden is right about ‘aliens’
