Judges in Durham County are routinely sending people to ICE despite the law’s clear limits, leading to detentions and horrific conditions, as seen in the case of Katherin Guillen-Acosta, jailed for missed traffic violations. With court records opaque and nationwide ICE arrests rising, the system feels increasingly arbitrary, turning minor infractions into life-altering consequences.
