You're ignoring the very next line which states "why" they make this particular recommendation, a recommendation that they're pretty consistent about making throughout the rest of the document:
> "While those reforms do not address surveillance itself, they are the most direct way to undercut ICE surveillance authority."
This website, https://americandragnet.org/ , seems dedicated to curtailing dragnet surveillance in the USA. The facts around that surveillance are so disturbing that I'm amazed we can sit around and talk about deportation when it's a just a side show compared to the surveillance. The facts that they're laying out:
- ICE is tracking your address, your home moves, and your driving habits (or at least, they're doing so for ~75% of people in the USA)
- ICE is hijacking government functions like our DMVs and our utility companies without oversight in order to find out who you are, where you live, who you live near, etc. in order to detain and deport... well, I'll leave the who up to you, but if you're not uneasy with the start of that sentence, I doubt any way of ending it will either.
It's not the deportations that are concerning; it's the paths we're taking to get there.
