Federal Judge Limits ICE Warrantless Arrests in Oregon Amid Legal Challenge

A federal judge in Oregon has issued a preliminary injunction restricting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from making warrantless arrests unless there is a risk of escape.

Minnesota Educators File Lawsuit Against ICE for School Raids

Two Minnesota school districts and the state's teachers' union have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, challenging the presence of immigration agents at or near schools. The lawsuit argues that the Trump administration's revocation of a policy that restricted ICE activities at 'sensitive locations' like schools has led to a climate of fear, affecting student attendance and school operations. The lawsuit highlights incidents where federal agents conducted enforcement actions at schools, bus stops, and day care centers, leading to a significant drop in attendance and increased anxiety among students and families. The legal action seeks to reinstate the previous policy to protect educational environments from immigration enforcement activities.

Trump Administration's Detention Facility Expansion Faces Backlash from MAGA Supporters

The Trump administration is facing significant backlash from its own supporters over plans to expand immigration detention facilities across the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been acquiring industrial properties to convert into detention centers, a move that has sparked protests even in areas that strongly supported President Trump in the last election. In Hanover County, Virginia, over 500 protesters gathered after receiving a last-minute notification from DHS about a new facility. Similar opposition has been seen in Oklahoma City and Roxbury, New Jersey, where local protests have led to the cancellation of planned detention centers. The expansion is part of a $45 billion initiative to increase detention capacity, with ICE purchasing properties in multiple states.

New Orleans Police Deny Wrongdoing After Recruit Detained by ICE Amid Immigration Crackdown

The New Orleans Police Department is under scrutiny following the detention of one of its recruits, Larry Temah, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Temah, a Cameroonian national, was arrested after ICE accused the city of violating federal immigration laws. He was in the police academy and months away from graduation when detained. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims Temah had a final order of removal due to a denied permanent residency application, citing fraud. However, the New Orleans Police Department asserts that it verified Temah's employment eligibility through a DHS system and was unaware of ICE's intent to detain him until his arrest. The incident follows Operation Catahoula Crunch, a federal immigration crackdown in New Orleans, which has been paused as agents were redirected to Minneapolis.
