This article reports on an ICE memo and a statement from an ICE spokesperson. It outlines how ICE is holding immigrants in jail based on allegations of identity fraud without evidence or even criminal charges, even after their bond has been paid by family members and courts have ordered their release. This story contradicts the Trump administration's claim that it is going after criminals. Although the media bias report for the Nebraska Examiner shows that it is a left-leaning publication, it also ranks high for factual reporting. According to the report, its bias score is due to op-eds that have been published on the site.
