Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?

We’re at the early stage of them trying plan A which is mass deportation to hostile countries until they realize how expensive it is. Then they’ll move on from there. So is mass killing happening? Not likely. Is genocide in place though? Absolutely.

Pasting a reply from elsewhere here:

There’s ~50 billion in fresh funding burning a hole in ICE’s pocket, purchase orders for camps very much including infrastructure for the handling of remains, and published quotas impossible to meet any other way

To be precise: there is no record of what happened to ~1600 of the “detainees” who were last seen at the camp in Florida when it got temporarily shut down. They were booked in but not out. Not held, released, or deported. Just gone.

Not doubting, and wouldn’t be surprised. But I do like a good read to, have any?

Here’s some recent reporting around ICE funding and expenditures

snopes.com/…/men-lost-from-alligator-alcatraz/

and here’s a very careful take on the missing “detainees” from Snopes. Stuff like this is pretty tricky to report on in the moment, it’ll be a lot clearer in the history books.

“FALSE. No one is unaccounted — including at Alligator Alcatraz — in ICE’s online detention locator system. This is yet another hoax about the facility.”

Thank you, good reads. Between the lines then is mass extermination happening? Not yet, but people are dying and disappearing, being relocated to obfuscate the line of paper work. GIven it’s Y’all Qaeda in charge of iCE we’re at the tip of mass exterminations and slavery.
At what point you consider the exterminations “mass” is somewhat arbitrary. Slave population has remained relatively steady (highest per capita in the world, but steady) while the rate at which we eliminate “undesirables” is shooting up in a way that’s really difficult to track or hold anyone accountable for
Any amount of killing/deaths because of ICE/DHS is still monstrous. Just that until the word comes out that they’re killing them actively in large groups will some people “in the middle” be convinced.
