  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

That's an interesting hypothesis. Let's roll with it. You're suggesting that people are cooking the books to make it look like they're arresting people who don't actually exist, so that they can get bonuses, knowing that the obvious implication is that the people they arrested are secretly being deported or killed. Is that what you're hypothesizing they are doing?

Of course, it's theoretically possible. One could try to do that. But most people wouldn't want to make themselves look like mass murderers, like Nazis. Unless they actually are Nazis, but then they would just do the bad actions instead of faking them.
