Overview

• On July 29, ICE reposted on Instagram video of Manjot Singh’s July 23 arrest and announced he is subject to formal removal proceedings.
• Federal agents say Singh, a 25-year-old Indian national, was previously arrested at least six times by local authorities for charges including robbery, impersonation and DUI.
• His detention was carried out by a coordinated operation involving ICE Seattle, Homeland Security Investigations Northwest and the U.S. Border Patrol.
• ICE’s social media campaign reflects Trump administration directives to publicize high-profile detentions to deter illegal entry and critique sanctuary city cooperation limits.
• Singh remains in federal custody pending deportation under intensified immigration enforcement policies.
