DHS: Critical ICE surveillance footage from abuse case was never recorded (404media.co)

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.

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.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

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

Why was this flagged?

Why is this flagged? When did Internet censorship become a non-tech story?
