Overview
- Federal agents from ICE and HSI detained at least four people during a Canal Street sweep in Manhattan, drawing on‑scene protests as videos showed masked officers and unmarked vans; the FBI acknowledged participation and the NYPD said it was not involved.
- Witness accounts and local media documented recent operations in Santa Ana and a wrong‑address raid in Portland where two Mexican adults with no criminal records were detained after agents forced entry without showing a warrant, according to the family, with DHS later defending the action.
- Mexico’s president reported 2,382 Mexican nationals detained in the U.S. from Jan. 20 to Oct. 20, including 1,390 since June 6 when ICE intensified raids, and highlighted expanded consular services such as CIAM, an emergency “Botón de Alerta,” and strengthened consulates.
- A Migration Policy Institute report estimated 13.7 million undocumented residents in mid‑2023, including about 5.5 million Mexicans, noting that nearly half have lived in the U.S. more than two decades and a substantial share own homes.
- Mexican government figures show a rise in transfers to the U.S. during Claudia Sheinbaum’s first year—75 people when combining formal extraditions and direct “expulsions”—including February and August handovers of high‑profile suspects that experts say have limited security impact and raise legal questions.
