Kordia was arrested in 2024 during the Gaza solidarity protests at Columbia University. The charges against her were dropped the next day, but she was detained in March 2025 by ICE during a routine immigration check-in.

Jose Guadalupe Ramos was found unconscious in his bunk at the Adelanto detention center on March 25 and was pronounced dead later that evening. He had diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, receiving daily medication for his conditions.

At Dublin, she had been sexually harassed and verbally abused by an officer, physically assaulted by another, witnessed other officers sexually abusing women, and been subjected to retaliation. Before her arrest, Cristal had been a long-time permanent resident of the U.S. Her conviction for drugs invalidated her green card, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a final removal order based on her felony conviction.

The board has made it harder for immigration courts to offer immigrants bond in lieu of detention. It's made it easier to deport migrants to countries other than their own.

Due to his "lack of experience," he said, he had misunderstood federal immigration jargon and believed that De La Garza's residency bid had been denied - though it hadn't. He repeated his misunderstanding on a form that government attorneys cited in court to justify the detention. On the same form, he also wrongly reported that De La Garza had admitted to illegally entering the country in 2015.

On Friday, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal was arrested while preparing to drop his kids off at school in Richardson, Texas. The 41-year-old Afghan immigrant had helped U.S. special forces with its military operations in Afghanistan since 2005, and was evacuated-by the federal government-to the U.S. in 2021 with his wife and six kids. He was pronounced dead Saturday morning.

The IRS' improper disclosure of thousands of immigrants' personal information to the Department of Homeland Security fulfilled early warnings that the data-sharing deal between the agencies would put taxpayer data at risk. The IRS and DHS in April 2025 agreed to share data of immigrants to help with criminal investigations, subject to privacy law limitations. But the agency in a Wednesday court filing said it inappropriately overshared some immigrants' address information with DHS' Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Sheriff's deputies don't generally spend their time arresting anyone. They serve warrants, guard prisoners and keep court in order. Under other circumstances, Bilal's comments could be dismissed as a Democratic elected official throwing red meat at a blue audience. But she's not alone. Last year, municipal leaders in cities including Chicago, Portland and Charlotte made simple promises for their police not to cooperate with immigration enforcement, and to monitor the activities of ICE for civil remedies.

Thao was detained so abruptly that the agents whisked him away in his underwear despite the frigid winter weather, sparking outrage from social media users who watched viral footage of the incident. Thao said the agents drove him to the middle of nowhere before making him exit the vehicle to take additional photos. Not long after, they discovered he was a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. He was returned after approximately an hour.
