Comment on ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants
tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 hours agoI’m not misinterpreting, maybe you read before I edited the phrasing to make it more clear, I understand this is the number of total open cases each year which is why it’s relatively consistent, cases open and close.
I wasn’t suggesting anything about the number of people they could potentially be taking, just that there are thousands of unsolved cases of missing people each year.

So why did you present this data then? What was your goal in including it here?

Just pointing out there are thousands of unsolved missing persons cases, murders get more publicity but if people disappear it doesn’t make as much news and is harder to prosecute even if there is a lot of suspicion of someone who might have abducted and killed the person missing.

That seems to be going right back around to the accusation ICE is disappearing people. I’m almost certain they have contributed to missings persons, but it would rapidly become apparent if they began disappearing larger amounts of people.
