CBS News revealed that ICE secretly coordinated with Iran to deport more than 100 Iranians back to Iran in 2025-2026. Separately, the agency is budgeting up to $20 million for electric-shock gloves in detention facilities. Mexico has filed complaints with US prosecutors over deaths that allegedly occurred during ICE operations. The revelations came out at different times but paint a picture of an agency operating in the shadows.
Secret deportations to Iran during a military conflict with Iran raise immediate questions about what ICE knew about where those people were going and what would happen to them. Iran's treatment of deportees sent by the US is well-documented. The shock glove purchases suggest the agency is also planning to escalate its use of force against detainees. The Mexican complaints add a third dimension—that people are dying during these operations. Together, these aren't isolated incidents. They look like a pattern of increasingly severe detention and deportation practices without public oversight.
