ICE updating old press release timestamps to manipulate Google search results
Thousands of decade-old enforcement actions appearing as recent news
Examples include 2010 Colorado operation showing as current
Some resurfaced releases date back to 2008
Contradicts actual reports of limited current enforcement
Trump administration released 461 migrants due to facility limitations
White House press secretary highlights ICE arrests in briefings
Idaho lawyer reports minimal actual ICE activity despite online appearance
2010 Idaho arrest report showing as January 2025
Local experts say reported numbers would be notable if current
Here are the top political news stories for today.
"Some, such as the arrest of "44 absconders" in Nebraska, go back as far as 2008."
Did a quick check - found 37 similar cases of old releases being updated. SEO manipulation 101.
So what? The raids happened. Who cares when? These people broke the law and were deported. Period.
This is actually illegal under FTC guidelines about misleading advertising. Someone should file a complaint.

Meanwhile 461 got released because facilities are full. But sure, let's focus on website timestamps 🙄
showing your true fascist colors. Deporting families and bragging about it online. Disgusting.

Former SEO here. This is way beyond normal optimization. They're deliberately deceiving search algorithms to push a false narrative
fake news from the guardian again... always trying to make ICE look bad when theyre protecting our borders!!!
"Maria Andrade... says Ice arrests have been scant in the state"
Can confirm. My office handles these cases. Numbers nowhere near what's being portrayed.

I think the recent mass deportation, and the possible upcoming immigrant deportation is disgusting
Holy manipulation. They're literally changing timestamps to create fake news. This needs more coverage.
