HeadlineMay 27, 2025

Immigration rights advocates around the U.S. are raising alarm over the Trump administration’s arrest of dozens of people, including families with children, at U.S. immigration courts nationwide. Reports have emerged of federal immigration agents ambushing and detaining people at federal buildings in cities including Phoenix, Arizona; Miami; Seattle; New York; Chicago; Los Angeles, and across Northern California and Texas. Trump policies now allow ICE agents to make arrests at public schools, hospitals, places of worship and other sites that were once off limits.
