There are IT pros/hackers who can recover data. They should confiscate the hard drives.

We should raid their facility with unidentified masked men to try and illegally detain the evidence wkth no warrant or explination.

Yeah right. Like those bodycams on cops that mysteriously stop working when it’s convenient.

ICE’s credibility is a joke at this point they lie more than tell the truth

So summary judgement against ICE for failing to comply with discovery right?

This is caused “spoliation of evidence” and every judge in America will absolutely pile drive you for it.
I’ve seen it firsthand more than once (not directed at me, luckily, but I was in the room). Judges do not play around with that stuff. The whole legal system depends on people preserving relevant documents.

When evidence is deleted it would be proper to rule against the party who lost it

I mean this is just going to let the jury draw an adverse inference, but at this point I cannot imagine there’s a member of ICE who is not at least a felon.

Most corrupt and evil institution in the US conveniently loses key evidence in suit against them? Astonishment. Bewilderment, even!

Does anyone believe this? Government systems usually have robust data back up solutions. And data forensics to find it. Even if they destroyed the hard drive, there’s a backup somewhere, be it physical or in a government private cloud

Incoming summary default judgement then I’m guessing. Would be more comical if it weren’t for the underlying fact that any settlements are just going to be paid with our tax dollars.
This is yet another reason why I think anyone in law enforcement, whether local, state or federal should be required to hold insurance policy (collectively as precincts or individually) which are used to pay out civil suits or settlements which arise from losing lawsuits for civil rights infractions, illegal practices injuries, etc.
Problem officers would become too costly to keep on a group plan, which would encourage otherwise indifferent officers to call out sh*t ones, and if on individual plans, sh*t cops would no longer be cops because their premiums would make staying an officer no longer economically viable.

People need to get armed, and fast.
I’m not a lawyer but if you’re being sued for something and your defense is that you lost the evidence isn’t that a slam dunk for the plaintiff?
