A lesson from Latin American history: armed forces are among the most respected public institutions, but when the primary function of a state military shifts from national defense to domestic repression, it loses legitimacy. This can hasten the downfall of the state.

According to ICE, about 96% of the detainees at Webb County are men. About 78% of detainees have no criminal convictions nor pending charges. Many people listed with a “criminal status” have convictions or pending charges based on minor offenses.

ICE classifies about 65% of the people held at Webb County as so-called "Level A" detainees — the lowest level of "security risk" according to ICE.
