Overview

  • ICE arrested over 2,200 people in a single day this week, its highest one-day total under President Trump’s deportation mandate.
  • Agents detained at least 15 people—including four children—after routine court check-ins in San Francisco, holding them overnight in nonresidential cells without beds or food.
  • Field operations in California and Texas swept workplaces from LA Home Depot parking lots to construction sites in Brownsville and South Padre Island, arresting dozens of immigrants.
  • The Glendale City Jail continues to hold ICE detainees under a longstanding contract despite California’s sanctuary laws, raising concerns about loopholes in state protections.
  • Mayors, police chiefs and immigrant rights groups have condemned the tactics as terrorizing communities, and lawmakers are demanding federal probes into ICE methods and detention conditions.
