For years, immigration enforcement was largely associated with carefully planned operations targeting specific individuals. But a new wave of Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity has dramatically changed the picture.
Federal agents are increasingly appearing in everyday places along roads, at transportation stops, near businesses, and in public spaces, creating a new national debate over how immigration laws are being enforced and how much force is being used.
A new report from the American Civil Liberties Union has intensified that debate, documenting more than 1,200 immigration enforcement encounters across eight states during the first year of President Donald Trump’s return to office.
