On September 9, I wrote that the Obama administration, based on statistics from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was nearing its millionth deportation. It seems I was only about three days off. According to Reuters, the administration hit that milestone on September 12. How does that compare with Obama s predecessor, George W. Bush? The answer, if you have been hearing Republicans accuse Obama of 'backdoor amnesty' and holding the border hostage, may surprise you...

Targeting Immigrants

Nancy Murray and Kade Crockford, Truthout and ACLU Massachusetts: 'Ashcroft s vow to 'use all weapons within the law' against noncitizens to 'enhance security for America' initially targeted Muslims. They have been singled out for discriminatory enforcement of immigration regulations, from the post-9/11 'special interest' arrests to the present. But the search for the 'terrorists among us' has had a broad reach.'

The Terrible Post-9/11 Truth: Our Government s Been Hijacked

Michael Winship, Truthout: 'The World Trade Center collapse created the largest number of workplace fatalities in the history of the United States. Government bumbling and dissembling about air quality downtown and conditions at the site, the rush back to business as usual, may have irreparably killed and injured countless others.'

Why Are American Citizens Getting Locked Up and Even Deported by Immigration Authorities?

Rania Khalek, AlterNet: 'Although it s difficult to obtain an exact number of Americans illegally detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ? over 4,000 US citizens were detained or deported in 2010 alone?. The [New York] Times points out that 'Any case where an American is held, even briefly, for immigration investigation is a potential wrongful arrest because immigration agents lack legal authority to detain citizens.'

Reluctant Migration: The Vicious Cycle of Debt, Deportation and Flawed Policy That Drives Central Americans Over the Border Again and Again

Streamlined Deportation: ''No One Here in This Room Can Help You''

ST McNeil, Truthout: The US is breaking deportation records, despite cost overruns, judicial inefficiency, due process and human rights violations and a Democrat in the White House. Will four more years of Obama change the immigration system built to jail or deport first, ask questions never?
