ICE posts image saying its job is to stop "ideas" crossing U.S. border "illegally" [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2025-04-10

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement today identified four things that it considers its job to stop crossing the U.S. border "illegally": people, money, products and ideas.

We wrote the ICE media office to learn more: "Do we have a list of these ideas? Are there examples of ideas that ICE has prevented from illegally entering the country? Are there any task forces devoted to preventing these ideas?" We will update if and when we hear back.

It deleted the image without replying to those inquirites, but it was a timely and representative posting: just today, in a memo to the U.S. Supreme Court, Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged that detained green card holder Mahmoud Kahlil had committed no crime, but said they had the right to remove him because of things he might believe.
