ICE Launches Low-Key Raids Targeting Migrant Families
< < Go Back
A small number of coordinated federal raids targeting undocumented migrant parents and their children took place over the weekend, the beginning of President Trump’s plan to swiftly enforce deportation orders against thousands of recently arrived migrants who are not eligible to remain in the country.
Only a handful of arrests appeared to take place, and they were reported in only a few cities. That was much different than the nationwide show of force that had originally been planned, in which Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were expected to fan out in unison on Sunday morning across immigrant communities in major cities. But the authorities said that more arrests would follow through the week.
