The system surrounding ICE’s arrests requires less deference to police officers and greater emphasis on human rights. According to ICE’s website, ICE agents do not need judicial warrants to make arrests. Like other law enforcement officers, they are allowed to “initiate consensual encounters” and “briefly detain aliens” when they have “reasonable suspicion that the aliens are illegally present in the United States. There are two issues with such deference. Firstly, “reasonable suspicion” is a vague and, although it aims to be otherwise, subjective form of analysis. It gives the opportunity for bias that clouds judgment to be used as a justification for arrests. Because of the extensive history and unfortunate relationship between immigration issues and prejudice, this opportunity is detrimental and should not be available. Secondly, several interactions with ICE have escalated into severe cases of violence, with both Alex Pretti’s and Renée Good’s murders occurring in January of this year alone. This shows a complete disregard for proper protocol and, more importantly, human rights.
