Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have reportedly escalated their detention of undocumented immigrants across the United States, taking over 500 people into custody on Thursday. Arrests occurred in multiple cities, including Buffalo, Chicago, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Denver. The operation sparked outrage in several communities, with officials and residents criticizing the agency for alleged warrantless searches and the detention of US citizens. ICE defended its actions, stating that agents may encounter US citizens during enforcement operations and request identification.
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."
