Weekly civic intelligence report · v2.2
Data revealed that 70% of ICE detainees do not have criminal convictions, highlighting concerns about immigration enforcement targeting non-criminal populations.
This data release reveals enforcement patterns but represents disclosure of existing practice rather than new constitutional damage. A-score: rule_of_law=3 (enforcement discretion concerns but within statutory authority), civil_rights=4 (due process concerns for non-criminal detainees, moderate population impact). Mechanism modifier 1.15 for enforcement_action, scope 1.2 for federal. Severity: durability 1.1 (ongoing practice). Base 14.2 * 1.15 * 1.2 * 1.1 = 21.62. B-score: Layer1 high outrage_bait (7, emotional framing of non-criminals detained), media_friendliness (6, clear narrative), moderate meme_ability (4, '70%' statistic). Layer2: strong pattern_match (7, fits immigration enforcement critique narrative), mismatch (6, data vs enforcement rhetoric), narrative_pivot potential (5). Intentionality 8 (strategic data release, advocacy coordination, timing). Final B 25.14. Delta -3.52 favors distraction. B>=25 and D<=-10 threshold not met but B dominates with A below 25.
Monitor for: (1) whether data drives actual policy reform vs symbolic debate, (2) legislative response to detention standards, (3) judicial challenges to detention practices for non-criminal populations, (4) whether issue sustains attention beyond news cycle or becomes partisan talking point without substantive change to enforcement protocols.
