US EditionICE agents wait in hallways of immigration court as Trump seeks to deliver on mass arrest pledge
- Homeland Security officials conducted coordinated enforcement actions at immigration courts across the U.S. On May 28, 2025, detaining migrants including Juan Serrano in Miami.
- These actions stem from President Trump's administration deploying new legal tools intended to fulfill his campaign pledge for mass removals despite previous obstacles like lawsuits and detention shortages.
- The detentions affected migrants without criminal records, legal representation, and some seeking asylum, with attorneys reporting a spike in arrests at courthouses from New York to Seattle.

- These enforcement efforts may discourage law-abiding migrants from attending court due to fear of arrest, potentially impacting immigration court participation and community trust, according to attorneys and advocates.
