DHS: Critical ICE surveillance footage from abuse case was never recorded

https://archive.ph/eSpJw

In the quaint olden days there used to be a concept that the appearance of impropriety was as bad or worse than actual impropriety for exactly this reason.

I'm reading it was from a "system crash", or maybe it never existed, and that even if it existed it would be of no use.

Okay.

How much will that cost taxpayers when a judgment is entered for punitive damages?

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Why was this flagged?

Running the administration's statement through my bullshit filter says they deleted the footage because it was too incriminating. I am also skeptical about the statement that it's irrelevant because they fixed the problem.

Clearly the same team that was doing tech support for the Epstein cameras.
