Overview
- Senior U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson ruled ICE arrests in Colorado unlawful, barred warrantless detentions without documented flight‑risk probable cause, certified a class, and ordered bond repayments, ankle‑monitor removal, and ongoing review of agents’ probable‑cause forms.
- House Democrats launched a public dashboard logging 252 verified incidents of alleged misconduct and held a Los Angeles field hearing where residents and officials described civil‑rights violations and said at least 170 U.S. citizens have been detained.
- Border Patrol Chief Jeffrey Dinise acknowledged that only a little over 30 of 360 people rounded up in recent operations across four Southeast states had criminal records, undercutting DHS’s broader 70% criminality claim.
- DHS reports more than 65,000 migrants in ICE custody as arrests average roughly 1,200 a day, and a federal appeals court left in place a block on expanded expedited removals.
- The administration defends the crackdown as targeting dangerous offenders and highlights a reported 1,150% rise in assaults on ICE officers, even as community testimony details trauma and disruptions tied to the raids.
