• Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detain U.S. citizens during expanded enforcement operations in Los Angeles County — ICE agents have conducted multiple raids across Los Angeles County and southern California in recent weeks, sweeping up individuals at courthouses, restaurants, and on streets. Some of those detained have been U.S. citizens. In one documented case, ICE detained a Honduran woman seeking asylum and her children, including a six-year-old boy diagnosed with leukemia. The enforcement surge has targeted immigrants broadly, with collateral detention of citizens reported.
• Trump administration pursues aggressive immigration enforcement with workplace raids — The Trump administration conducted aggressive workplace raids through Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeting undocumented immigrants. Videos documented people being arrested and beaten by ICE agents, provoking widespread revulsion. Cases included Ming Li Hui, a popular restaurant worker in rural Missouri arrested and jailed for deportation. The raids harmed hotels, restaurants, farms, construction, and meatpacking companies, including in conservative states. Trump initially ordered a temporary pause after recognizing some undocumented workers were "very good, longtime workers," but then yielded back to hardliners.
