US EditionMass Deportation Effort Sweeps up U.S. Citizen Children with Deported Parents
- Immigration agents nationwide are detaining migrants in courthouse hallways, sometimes moments after hearings, as part of an accelerated enforcement effort in 2025.
- This surge follows the Department of Homeland Security rescinding guidance that limited enforcement near courthouses, enabling ICE to target migrants in immigration proceedings, including those in the non-detained docket.
- Internal documents reveal ICE agents must swiftly apprehend immigrants ordered removed or dismissed from court, applying fast-track deportation to those residing less than two years, with agents coordinating directly with court staff.
- Nearly 4 million immigration cases are pending with most migrants not detained; cases include detainees like 20-year-old Venezuelan student Dylan, who was taken after a routine Manhattan court hearing on May 21 under expedited removal.
- Advocates warn courthouse arrests undermine due process and deter court attendance, while officials defend the practices as necessary; critics call the tactic morally wrong and self-defeating, urging caution given the system's integrity risks.
