I can't speak to the headline editor's intentions, but "detainees drop off the grid" seems like a lot less clear way of stating the substance of this situation than, for example, "ICE has stopped reporting on the status and location of over 1,000 detainees who were last seen in their custody at Alligator Auschwitz". Like, the subject of that sentence should be ICE because they are the ones doing something here, not the detainees.
I don't want to be too critical, I'm really glad this is being reported on, I can just imagine a conservative reading that headline and thinking "The illegals got out and hid somewheres even after we threw 'em in the swamp dungeon? Bah gawd, we need to crack down on these invaders even harder!"
e; fixed the capitalization on "detainees" to match the headline and added a second sentence to my first paragraph
He's been a fraud for a long while now (probably his whole career back to NYPD, which pains me a bit to say because iirc he got his start calling out their racism), if he keeps trying to delegitimize the will of the voters like this we can start adding things like "tyrant" and "traitor" to his titles
