Of course, any ethnic cleansing operation, and suppression of people opposed to it, is going to result in casualties. The Trump regime's ethnonationalist cleansing project, even in its nascent stages, cannot be accomplished without horrifying levels of violence, and yes, even murders. To the surprise of precisely no one who has observed how the rest of the Trump administration operates to cover its tracks and work in secrecy, the ICE Gestapo doesn't release information about its violent incidents. Most Americans inherently understand that this violence is occurring somewhere, but that knowledge merely simmers in the background until blatant evidence of Gestapo violence bursts into the public sphere, primarily through the work of citizen journalism - as in the case of the cold blooded executions of Renne Good, and Alex Pretti by Gestapo murderpigs attached to the CBP wing of the Trumpenreich DHS's ethnic cleansing project.
There are however efforts underway to pierce the Trump regime's veil of secrecy surrounding Gestapo violence. For example, at the very end of January 2026, the American Prospect used news reports, government data, and data from nonprofits, watchdogs, and immigration advocacy groups to create a living document to track how many people the Gestapo has injured or killed; to my knowledge, literally nobody else has compiled this data as of yet.
A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured
"The Trump regime’s deportation monomania has left far more people dead and wounded than it wants you to know. Agents’ public executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have rightly drawn widespread fury, heartbreak, and action. And they are just two of the many more agents have murdered or caused to die in the field since January 2025. Even more people have died in immigration prison. And as for the people federal agents have merely injured? An official count doesn’t exist. There is no doubt that the regime is working overtime to hide the full scope of the terror campaign spreading across our country.
The Prospect launched this tracker to do our part to stop them from getting away with it. We are collecting data to bring the real harm into sharper focus and to counterbalance the mainstream media’s sanitation of what we would call “pogroms” if they were happening in any other country. Consider, for example, how The New York Times represents the deadly operation in Minnesota, under the title “Minneapolis Tensions.” Now consider if that would accurately reflect your anguish if modern-day slave catchers used your toddler as bait and then threw him in prison. Or if they marched your grandfather outside in the snow, wearing only his boxers. Or, God forbid, chased your beloved husband or brother or uncle to his death. Would “tensions” be good enough? No.
None of these deaths had to happen. All are a result of Trump’s racist mass deportation drive. They are a stain on our country and we refuse to forget."
As the Prospect notes, this dataset is of course incomplete and almost certainly represents a vast undercount of the number of violent incidents involving Kristi Noem's DHS forces (including ICE, and CBP). The hope with any living document, is that as more information about the violence and murders the Gestapo are responsible for leaks out, the dataset will become more complete. Even still, the Prospect has collected information on 25 people murdered, and 18 people injured during direct encounters with the Gestapo (obviously, the injury number is a VAST undercount), and 44 people people killed in custody - so murdered by our concentration camps.
Look folks, if you've been reading my writing long enough, you know full well that I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg and these folks are prepared to murder millions of people to get the fascist ethnostate of their dreams. But the reality is that we're not talking about a hypothetical future time when the DHS Gestapo will start killing people to do ethnic cleansing; they're already doing it, and they've budgeted to do a lot more of it in the future. This situation is not going to improve, when the Gestapo sucks down enough GOP budget dollars to become the 8th largest army on Earth, and we've already seen this machine been repurposed to target activists, journalists, and pretty much anyone who thinks maybe it's not a very good idea to have a Gestapo or worse, a Schutzstaffel, and do ethnic cleansing. The Trumpenreich's mass deportation project has already put at least 69 people in the ground in just over a single year and this is only just the beginning. I hate to keep beating the same drum, but a genocidal fascist police state prepared to do fucking murders to suppress migrants, is a genocidal fascist police state that will happily do the same no matter who Trump and Miller point them at.
