ICE arrests surge as agents shift to low-profile tactics
Original: Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is arresting more people than ever after the Trump administration abandoned high-visibility operations in favour of quieter, faster tactics. The Guardian reports that following public backlash to its 'siege' approach, agents now carry out brief detentions lasting around 90 seconds, making the agency less visible but more widespread, with critics saying ICE is now effectively everywhere.
Why now: Reports of record arrests under a new stealth enforcement strategy are drawing fresh attention to immigration policy under the Trump administration.
