“We don't pick and choose groups of people based on race, color, religion. We just look for people who are removable.”These are just some of the quotes from Netflix’s new docuseries.

The docuseries was shot over the course of three years. Schwarz and Clusiau follow the day to day life of ICE agents, lawmakers, attorneys, and activists. They also follow a wide range of undocumented immigrants, from longtime residents that have payed taxes for 10 years to deported U.S. military veterans to new arrivals escaping persecution.

ICE and the nation’s detention centers received a lot of media attention in 2018 because of photos and reports that showed inhumane treatment of immigrant detainees. In 2020, because of COVID-19, a U.S. judge ordered that all minors with their parents in ICE custody must be released by July 17. That order has yet to be carried out. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, ICE detention centers have been using disinfectants that causes bleeding and intense pain over 50 times a day.

At first approved by ICE leadership, the Trump administration tried to prevent the release of certain segments and to block the release of the docuseries in its entirety until after the 2020 election. The six-part documentary shows some very disturbing and often illegal moments including ICE officers lying to immigrants to enter their homes and even shows one officer picking the lock to an apartment building illegally during a raid.
