The policy strips away due process protections and puts thousands at risk of torture and death with inadequate legal safeguards. Six hours notice isn't enough time to prepare any defense, effectively denying people their rights. This violates international law and humanitarian principles.


Metaculus Prediction

There is a 28% chance that at least twice as many deportations by U.S. ICE will occur in Fiscal Year 2025 compared with Fiscal Year 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
