In the latest in an ever-growing line of errors that have plagued the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, ICE officers have now admitted a software error may have resulted in a man being deported to Mexico, despite his legitimate fear of persecution.

The revelation emerged as the result of a class-action lawsuit filed by a Guatemalan man who was deported to Mexico in March despite fears he would face persecution there on the basis of his sexuality.

Initially, the administration argued that the man himself had told them he wasn’t afraid to be sent to Mexico, but in a Friday court filing, they conceded that this argument was based on inaccurate information.

Retracting their previous assertions, ICE officials have now said they have no record of the man telling anyone that he was unafraid of being sent to Mexico. They attributed the error to software known as the “ENFORCE alien removal module,” which tracks deportations and allows ICE employees to add comments.

4. Software is only as good as the person who coded it.

Along with the data it's given to work with. GIGO - garbage in, garbage out. Software itself doesn't make "errors".

3. So, the software error was allowing Ice employees to add comments because

they lie?

5. When an error is NOT an error:

Trumpers intentionally make "errors" to spread fear that anyone can be caught up in their incompetency. That they can't be trusted is a positive effect for them. The more scared the population becomes, the better.

incompetent stooges...

across government and across the country,
