ICE Raids Escalate Nationwide as LA Shooting, NYC Arrests and Chicago Court Order Intensify Scrutiny

Local scrutiny intensifies, prompting demands for oversight and aid in response to expanding federal raids.

Overview

  • An ICE operation in Los Angeles led to defensive gunfire that wounded an immigrant in the elbow and a U.S. Marshals officer in the hand, with DHS saying the suspect rammed a law‑enforcement vehicle and both injured are hospitalized.
  • Federal agents with ICE and HSI detained several people on Manhattan’s Canal Street, drawing on‑scene protests and widespread bystander video, while the NYPD said it was not part of the operation.
  • A federal judge in Chicago ordered agents tied to Operation Midway Blitz to use body‑worn cameras, pressed officials over use‑of‑force reports, and heard ICE testimony about funding gaps and a 28‑day overwrite of detention‑center footage after more than 1,000 arrests since early September.
  • Los Angeles County’s emergency declaration unlocked rental aid and legal services, and Mayor Karen Bass urged Congress to open hearings into alleged unlawful detentions, saying U.S. citizens have also been swept up.
  • Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum reported 2,382 Mexican nationals detained in the U.S. from Jan. 20 to Oct. 20, including 1,390 since the June 6 enforcement surge.
