US EditionICE agents wait in hallways of immigration court as Trump seeks to deliver on mass arrest pledge
UNITED STATES, MAY 26 – ICE agents arrest immigrants, including asylum seekers without criminal records, immediately after court dismissals to accelerate deportations under a fast-track process expanded by the Trump administration.
- Juan Serrano, a 28-year-old Colombian who has no criminal history, appeared at a Miami immigration court hearing on Wednesday, anticipating a routine check-in.
- The hearing took place as Homeland Security intensified enforcement efforts nationwide, using recently implemented legal strategies introduced by President Trump's administration to speed up widespread arrests from New York to Seattle.
- Although Judge Monica Neumann told Serrano he was free to leave, five federal agents immediately apprehended him as he exited the courtroom and transported him with approximately twelve other migrants detained that same day.
- Immigration attorneys Wilfredo Allen and Antonio Ramos said the efforts aim to expedite removals and likely cause a chilling effect, discouraging law-abiding migrants from attending court out of fear.
- The intensified enforcement reflects a coordinated dragnet that has increased detentions over months, while attorneys note it complicates court appearances and undermines migrant communities' trust and participation.
