ICE and CPS: The Multi-million Dollar Secret Affair of Deportation

Each year, thousands of children are put into foster care because their parents have been locked up in

a federal detention facility for the crime of being undocumented.

As the system of child welfare operations is exempt from scrutiny, many parents are "detained" through the partnership of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with Child Protective Services (CPS).

CPS staff do not have legal training nor do they have policy on inter-jurisdictional partnerships.

For example, the practice of "targeting vulnerable populations", a federal code term to describe minorities, CPS does not need warrants to enter a home nor parental permission to detain and interrogate a child at school.

When a parent comes to pick up the child from school, ICE will be there waiting, along with CPS which places the child in foster care, billing at an enhanced rate.

Once a child is in the foster care system, concurrent planning is immediately put in place.  This means the child is fast tracked to adoption as relative placement is not enforced.

Under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the timeline to initiate Termination of Parental Rights proceedings is 12-months.  If a parent is detained in ICE custody, it will be for 2 to 3 years.

These children bring increased adoption tax credits and monthly adoption subsidies as the children are deemed to be "special needs".

ICE is used to promote the political agenda of human trafficking of children to generate revenue for the tax-exempt child placing agencies and service providers of the child welfare industry.

Deportation does not make sense; it makes millions.
