Unbelievable! The jewelry thief who robbed 100 million dollars was "sent" out of the country by U.S. ICE agents.

The ICE agents under Trump have become increasingly absurd.

Here's what happened: On the 22nd, the UK's Guardian found that last year, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported a suspect allegedly involved in a $100 million jewelry robbery case.

According to the British media, prosecutors had originally planned to charge this suspect with 15 years in prison, but after being released on bail, the suspect was detained by the U.S. immigration authorities in September of last year. Then something absurd happened: The U.S. immigration authorities didn't check whether he had any pending legal issues at all, and directly gave him two choices: either be deported or go through the legal process for illegal immigration cases - as expected, the suspect chose the former.

Currently, the suspect has been deported to Ecuador, and U.S. federal prosecutors are now accusing each other over this case. A prosecutor, speaking in an interview, complained, saying, "He really couldn't understand how ICE could deport a criminal without the involvement of the prosecutors... It's like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing." (According to the British media, ICE should theoretically communicate with the prosecutors.)

However, even more absurdly, after the suspect was deported, he even asked the U.S. prosecutors through his attorney to dismiss the charges against him, arguing that ICE's deportation "violated his right to criminal prosecution," and that the case should be terminated...

This bizarre case is not an isolated incident, but rather an extreme example of the expansion of ICE's power. Under Trump's support, both the enforcement powers and the number of ICE agents have expanded unprecedentedly, and "acting first and reporting later" has almost become a routine. It seems that such a strange case is no longer surprising.
