NPOV dispute - needs information on criticism
Since ICE has been created as a DHS organization, it has been subject to significant controversy. This controversy has been heightened with reports of deaths in custody throughout ICE's existence, as well as more recent reports of "lost" immigrant children (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/federal-officials-lose-track-of-nearly-1500-migrant-children) and destruction of legal records documenting abuses (https://www.aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights/ice-and-border-patrol-abuses/ice-plans-start-destroying-records-immigrant). Political dialogue surrounding ICE has also intensified in light of Donald Trump's statements on immigration.

This article, however, makes no mention of these widely reported incidents or the broader controversy surrounding US immigration policy, particularly regarding the lack of legal accountability enjoyed by ICE agents. The absence of a criticism section gives undue weight to ICE's self-justification, and therefore violates the NPOV policy. This is an issue that has been mentioned in the past, and given the timely nature of the present controversy alongside the amount of existing content in the article presenting ICE in a good light, the lack of a section discussing the controversy is unacceptable.

 * Please note that a lack of a criticism or controversies section does not equate to an NPOV issue. I have removed the unwarranted tag.  If you have specific improvements that you wish to make, feel free to take the time to edit the article.  Scr ★ pIron IV 17:17, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Agreed please add detail about this current round of controversies. Andrevan@ 04:29, 27 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I created a Criticism section, please have a look. Admittedly was difficult to distinguish between DHS or ICE broadly, and its sub-agencies such as Border Patrol and CBP, or even other departments altogether such as DHHS. Shushugah (talk) 17:10, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Child detention centers
Absolute nonsense that this article is 80% ICE propaganda sourced from their own website, but there's nothing about the child concentration camps that ICE so proudly maitntains — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.10.238.40 (talk) 09:47, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

ICE criticism in the lede
Opening section for discussion about what should be included in the lede. At bottom of lede this paragraph was included and removed several times already:

ICE has recently received substantial criticism over their internment of migrant children into what have been described as concentration camps. Shushugah (talk) 20:44, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Any proposals should be in line with MOS:LEAD, WP:CONTROVERSY AND WP:CRITICISM. FYI - the WOLF  child  21:08, 28 June 2018 (UTC)


 * - just noticed your "revert" ; "Revert: This is not a redundant paragraph. If you think the lede should not include the most prominent criticism of ICE this past month, please explain why in the talk page. This lede has been repeatedly removed for numerous procedural reasons and warrants a consensus amongst editors." - as you say, it's already been removed "repeatedly", and yet you are again re-adding it, basically edit-warring, and insisting on a "consensus". Well, where is the consensus supporting your edit? Per WP:BRD, it was added, then removed, which should be followed by discussion... not you re-adding it again based solely on your POV. (and I see you re-added manually, instead of reverting, as you claim). That content needs to be removed and only re-added if there is consensus and policy supporting it. - the WOLF  child  22:02, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Notifying . That controversial and unsupported edit was re-added back into the lead just as they were protecting the page to prevent this kind of disruptive editing. It should be removed pending a proper discussion. - the WOLF  child  22:10, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not an unsupported edit, their family seperation and child internment policy has resulting in mass media attention and protests across the country and removing it from the lead is extremely biased in favor of ICE. Any reasonable NPOV would include this criticism in the lede.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.4.144.5 (talk) 22:57, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * "Unsupprted" by consensus, not by sources. (I thought that was obvious, apparently not). This issue is already documented in the controversy section, why does it need to be in the lead as well? The lead needs to reflect the entire article and we don't add info about controversies just because they are current or recent. That's what newspapers are for, not encyclopaedias. - the WOLF  child  23:05, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

It was initially removed due to non reputable source ie National Review, so I re-added with two different reputable sources citing same thing. And then it was removed with reason that it was redundant, which it isn’t. Per the MOS:LEAD the lead is a short summary of the article which also includes any key controversies. If you think other controversies merit more weight, or different wording is more appropriate am open to that. Everything in the lede can be expanded later in the content.

I am on mobile, so I did a manual revert. I apologize for any confusion there. Shushugah (talk) 11:15, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

One more comment. On the article page, it was never stated explicitly that this information doesn’t belong in the lede, but I suspect people didn’t want it there. I engaged and addressed specific reasons in good faith, and preemptively opened this section here so we can talk plainly about it. On both sides, I think people worry about WP:NPOV which is especially important on heated topics like this. Shushugah (talk) 11:31, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The fact it, it was added, then removed. At that point, if you still wanted it added, you should've started a discussion before re-adding, per WP:BRD, to seek consensus. Instead you keep re-adding it, which is basically edit-warring. Even now it should be removed until there has been a discussion, perhaps even an RfC, so the community can review, discuss, and possibly form a consensus on that entry, or any possible alternatives. The rules apply to you, just like everyone else. - the WOLF  child  09:20, 1 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I want to address the content itself, but since you tagged Admin and mentioned procedural issues, I’ll address those. I still want to hear your and anyone else’s content recommendation. I agree with having an RfC. With regards to WP:BRD, inside that link it says:


 * "BRD is an optional method of reaching consensus. This process is not mandated by Wikipedia policy"
 * Shushugah (talk) 11:22, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * No, BRD is not a "policy", but you do realize that it is a widely accepted practice among this community? If you want to cling to a technicality to support your cramming in disputed content you personally support without any input from the community, then you are not grasping the collegial aspect of this project. I realize that you are relatively inexperienced, but this is something you will come to realize is of importance here as you go along. Also, while BRD is not a policy, edit warring is. So once you've been reverted, you need to learn to leave it be and discuss. It will cause less problems in the end. - the WOLF  child  11:57, 1 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Notice I have posted request for 3PO Third_opinion. I am new and also engaging in good faith. I created this section unprompted by any administrator. I reverted your contribution once, and addressed another person who questioned the source's reliability. Two reverts is hardly an edit war. No one, so far has explained what improved/replacement content should be, including yourself. On other hand, several people, registered and unregistered have supported that this is relevant and appropriate. I am trying to build a consensus here, and yes we need to resolve this dispute Shushugah (talk) 13:23, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * As you've just pointed out, several editors have already been involved, and simply adding one more opinion to the mix via 3PO, I believe, would hardly be sufficient. This is why I suggested an RfC, which, again I believe, would be the more appropriate course of action. - the WOLF  child  14:25, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Why was this removed? Per the MOS:LEAD explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies. I look forward to your or anyone else's answers on improved content. Removing the most important controversy, would be violation of WP:NPOV Shushugah (talk) 14:08, 6 July 2018 (UTC
 * It was already established that after you added that content, it removed and since challenged. The lead should remain as QUO while disputed content is discussed, relevant policies and guidelines are reviewed and the community has an opportunity to form a consensus. You didn't do that, you just kept re-adding. It was removed again and page protection was requested to keep the article stable and prompt a discussion. Again you added it, just minutes before the page was locked. It was removed, pending a discussion and consensus. But again, instead of awaiting the outcome of any discussion, you re-add this disputed and controversial content (for the nth time?). You are basically gaming the system and waging a slow edit war. BRD may not be a policy, but it is a community-wide accepted practice and you should try following it for once. You need to establish consensus to re-add that edit again. - the WOLF  child  23:14, 6 July 2018 (UTC)


 * No one except yourself called for removing it. Nonetheless, I asked you for your insight of what is improved content, and you're refused to answer. You cited consensus, when then only consensus there is from four people saying to keep it and yourself calling for its removal. Prior people had specific concerns, which were immediately accepted amendments such as reputable source. I have acquired consensus, and I am willing to incorporate your ideas, if you would actually share them, instead of just reverting, and then cyclically accusing me of reverting, what has been reverted.

Protected edit request on 1 July 2018
In the lead, the sentence; ICE has recently received substantial criticism over their internment of migrant children into what have been described as detention camps.‍[5] was added and removed several times. This disruption is the very reason the page has been protected. Despite advising the editor to start discussion and seek consensus, they instead re-added it again, just as the protection was being added (basically slipping it under the wire.) It should be removed until there has been a discussion, possibly by way of RfC, so the community has an opportunity to review the content, discuss relative P&G and possible alternatives, and perhaps form a consensus.

Protected edit request on 30 June 2018
The references to "immigrants" under the subtitle "Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)" is incorrect. The office Immigration and Customs Enforcement website relating to subject is https://www.ice.gov/ero. This clearly states the mission of ICE as this: "To identify, arrest, and remove aliens who present a danger to national security or are a risk to public safety, as well as those who enter the United States illegally or otherwise undermine the integrity of our immigration laws and our border control efforts. Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) upholds America's immigration laws at, within and beyond our borders through efficient enforcement and removal operations." The targets of removal are "aliens", those persons who have no authorization to be in the United States, not "immigrants" who have, by definition, permission to be in the United States. There is no mention of "immigrants" as the targets of ICE enforcement. Please remove the false references to "immigrants" and replace with "aliens"Texastruthseeker (talk) 14:27, 30 June 2018 (UTC).

 * Comment User:Thewolfchild: I would like to hear your thoughts. If we're just talking consensus, the only concerns I have noted so far were User:XavierGreen's concern (diff) about using the National Review as a source, and 168.235.187.210's concern that this topic matter was being given undue weight due to the lack of content in the article. Both of those appear addressed, given the new section. --Elephanthunter (talk) 22:35, 7 July 2018 (UTC)


 * As a totally uninvolved non-American, the only issues I have with the lead are these, about its balance:
 * It seems a bit too much like a newspaper (WP is not news) to name the current incumbent in the lead, since that data is available in the infobox.
 * That ICE isn't responsible for border patrols seems like undue weight on a current or recent issue (recency bias); we might as well state that they don't operate an office on Mars for prospective immigrants from that planet!


 * Otherwise, the lead is informative in a summary way, which seems about right. yoyo (talk) 06:21, 8 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I've already expressed my concerns and cited relevant P&G, but again, I'll say WP is not news. We dont flash recent news headlines in leads like the front page of the NY Times. The lead should summarize the entire article. The article has a 'controversies' section, the lead could include a more generalized mention that there has been a number of controversies during the history of this agency, but it would be inappropriate and UNDUE to specifically highlight one single controversial issue. It seems the only reason a user or two want this in there so badly is because it's recent and they want to bring attention to it. That's WP:NOT what Wikipedia is about. - the WOLF  child  15:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

As some are calling for its abolition, there appears to be some confusion as to exactly what ICE does not do, so I propose this sentence be appended to paragraph #1 in the lede:

Bed Quota
The section mentioning a quota of 34,000 immigrants was recently updated (diff) because it was false. The article referred to beds, not immigrants. The section doesn't quite make sense now. I feel there are two options:
 * 1) Remove the reference to beds
 * 2) Reframe the content to make sense.

I don't have a strong preference. PolitiFact did a bit on the misconception about the beds. They agree, there is no legal requirement to fill the beds. But they also mention, "Under different DHS secretaries, the government’s interpretation of the law has varied as to whether the beds need to be filled or not." If there are other secondary sources to back that up, might be worth mentioning. --Elephanthunter (talk) 06:12, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Article needs major cleanup of unsourced material
A significant portion the article uses dead links or is completely unsourced. The descriptions under the "Investigative Programs" in particular are already excessively long, all the unsourced details should be trimmed off to leave more succinct descriptions that actually have citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.10.238.40 (talk) 10:56, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Improving content where needed is better than mass removal. If links are "dead", tag them, add new ones, or try the Way back machine to restore them.

 * We are in agreement here. Wayback machine works well for dead links. And prefer improving article over gutting. In my last edit, I encountered both. Situation where good citation was available online, and situations where the only source is a Wayback URL to ICE.gov press release page. Shushugah (talk) 15:38, 23 July 2018 (UTC)


 * A few sections appear to be copy-and-pasted from press releases and official ICE sites. This probably isn't a copyvio issue since it's a federal government source, but they should certainly be rewritten in an encyclopedic style. –dlthewave ☎ 16:42, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Government sources are indeed reliable sources, when covering a topic other than literally itself. ICE is not WP:IS for the purpose of covering ICE. If they make a claim that is unsubstantiated elsewhere, we can note their statement, but we do not treat it as a neutral established fact. And WP:SPIP applies in particular to reposting press releases. Shushugah (talk) 21:04, 4 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment: The content starting with U.S._Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement and inclusive of the section "Office of Professional Responsibility" reads like it's been copied from the agency's web site.

CP 133 Group 13 Proposed Edits
Add a section about Sanctuary Cities Add a section about the Protests Surrounding ICE Add a section about ICE Health Service Corp Add a section about How ICE was Started and by who (Background) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharleengill (talk • contribs) 22:19, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

CP133 Group 12 Peer Review
I believe that Group 13’s edits substantially improve the quality of the article, as they provided much more detail to ICE’s history and impact. By including detail about protests against ICE and sanctuary cities, this provides insight into how ICE has been viewed, and society’s response as a whole to the formation and actions of ICE. Moreover, they provided background into ICE’s formation. In addition, information concerning ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC) made their edits relevant to health policy. I believe that Group 13 accomplished their overall goals for improvement as stated in the talk page. The edits reflect a neutral point of view, and are cited with secondary sources that are verifiable. There is no conflicting formatting or evidence of plagiarism.

EOh92 (talk) 05:41, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Group 13’s edits improve the article considerably by providing insight to the health care services provided to ICE detainees and the health-related challenges they may face. Additionally, the edits shed light on humanitarian concerns regarding the treatment of detained migrant children. The article edits align well with their goals for improvement as mentioned in the Talk Page. While some edits do not explicitly align with a specific goal originally set out, they are helpful nonetheless. The edits mentioned by Group 13 are all cited appropriately with secondary sources that are aligned with Wikipedia’s standards.

I believe that Group 13’s edits substantially improve the article and make it more relevant to what is going on today. The addition of ICE Health Services is important to show what services are supposed to be provided at these sites. I think it would be helpful to add evidence on whether these services have actually been provided as this is just briefly touched on during the separation of migrant children section. I believe that the section on the adoption of immigrant children without the consent or knowledge of family is particularly insightful. The source they got this from, The Intercept, is known to be very left biased but also known to have high factual reporting. Overall, the sources they used are of quality and the links to get to the sources work. I believe they did accomplish their overall goals that they stated in their talk page. I believe that their edits do present a neutral point of view, presenting facts without providing any commentary. While the facts are sometimes disconcerting, they are the facts.

The group’s edits substantially improved the article as they provided a lot of information on ICE, the politics surrounding it, & it’s history. I believed the section of Sanctuary cities is significant as it shows public combatants and lack of cooperation against ICE. I believe group 13 accomplished their overall goals of adding a section about Sanctuary Cities, Protests surrounding ICE, ICE health service corp, & how ICE was started & by who. The draft submission reflects a neutral point of view as it shows relevant sources for all information recorded.
