Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have intensified their raids across the United States, detaining over 500 individuals, including both undocumented immigrants and US citizens, in a series of operations on Thursday. The arrests spanned various states such as Illinois, Utah, California, Minnesota, New York, Florida, and Maryland, targeting locations like Chicago, San Francisco, and Newark. The operation sparked controversy, with critics condemning it as an egregious violation of the Fourth Amendment and a cause of fear within immigrant communities. Meanwhile, ICE maintains it is conducting targeted enforcement operations and may encounter US citizens during its work.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents appear to have stepped up their detention of unauthorized immigrants across the country, taking more than 500 people into custody on Thursday.The arrests took place across the U.S., including in Illinois, Utah, California, Minnesota, New York, Florida and Maryland. The cities where the arrests have taken place include Buffalo, New York, Chicago, St. Paul, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Denver.
An ICE spokesperson said that the agency's policy prevented it from discussing ongoing investigations. The administration was dealt a setback on Thursday when a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s executive order denying U.S. citizenship to the children of parents living in the country illegally. The judge called the order “blatantly unconstitutional” during the first hearing in a multi-state effort challenging it.
He said that if the 11 million undocumented people across the country were deported,"they will take the economy with them, because they work in many industries that are vital."
