Posted on January 29, 2026

We Asked Former Military What They Think Of What ICE Is Doing —Huffington Post

‘If we wouldn’t treat an enemy combatant in that way, there is no possible justification for the brutal treatment and killing of a peaceful American citizen.‘

JUST SAYING

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ

 

It’s time to abolish ICE — not partially fund what has effectively become a private, taxpayer-subsidized security force for the Trump Organized Crime Family.

Want to arrest violent felons? Use ICE funds for the U.S. Marshals Service to increase manpower.

While ICE stages press-friendly raids, the Marshals have been quietly doing the unglamorous work of real law enforcement without the political performance for Trump and the Republicans.

According to the U.S. Marshals Service, roughly 70,000 to 90,000 fugitives are arrested or cleared every year. Over the past decade, that’s well over 700,000 fugitives — no cable-ne

ws theatrics required.

The cases include homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, sex offenses, kidnapping, escape from custody, parole violations, and weapons charges tied to violent crime..

Since 2019, the Marshals’ numbers speak for themselves:

FY2019: 90,239

FY2022: 75,846

FY2023: 73,362

                                                             FY2024: 74,222

                                                             FY2025: 73,323

At any given time, the FBI is actively searching for about 12,000 fugitives.

Law-enforcement agencies are actively seeking about 12,000 fugitives at the federal level via the FBI, the total number of people with outstanding felony warrants across all U.S. jurisdictions is much greater.
