ICE shifts to low-profile tactics as arrests hit record levels
Original: Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is detaining more people than ever, according to reporting by The Guardian. After public backlash against highly visible 'siege'-style operations, the Trump administration has adopted what officials call 'soft feet' tactics: quick, discreet arrests lasting around 90 seconds. Critics say the agency has become 'invisibilized' and is now effectively everywhere, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement operating across the United States with less public visibility.
Why now: New reporting highlights a controversial shift in ICE enforcement tactics under the Trump administration, drawing attention to record arrest numbers.
