      A bit of a cynical take, but it wouldn’t surprise me if ICE started throwing away shoes and phones onto the roadside.

        Wouldn’t that make it easier to figure out where it happened

          Sure, but knowing ICE took your kid doesn’t really do much to help get them back.

          ICE is now an extrajudicial secret police with even less oversight than the actual police. Even if someone knows ICE kidnapped their relative, nobody in the current administration is going to hold them accountable if they decide to lie and say “no we didn’t”. It took months to get back Abrego Garcia, and that was with the public eye on the situation and the entire Democratic Party pressuring them. For every one Abrego Garcia, there are thousands of people who are still unjustly locked up in a concentration camp.
