ICE arrests rise as agents adopt low-profile tactics
Original: Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is making more arrests than ever after shifting tactics following public backlash, according to a Guardian report. Instead of high-visibility 'siege' operations, agents now use what insiders call 'soft feet' approaches—plain clothes, quick detentions lasting as little as 90 seconds—making the agency less visible but more widespread, with critics saying ICE is now 'everywhere'.
Why now: The Trump administration's change in immigration enforcement tactics is drawing fresh attention and concern about expanded, less visible arrests.
