Immigrants' Courthouse Arrests in NYC Spur Fear, Calls for Investigation
- In late May, immigration agents briefly detained a deputy U.S. Marshal at the federal immigration court in Tucson after he entered the building's lobby, due to a case of mistaken identity.
- The detention happened because the marshal matched the description of a suspect sought by ICE amid increased courthouse arrests nationwide since mid-May.
- Immigration agents, pressured by high deportation targets, have used tactics like impersonating utility workers to arrest immigrants, sparking concerns about mistakes and targeting of law-abiding attendees.
- The U.S. Marshals Service said the marshal's identity was quickly confirmed and he left without incident, while advocates warn arrests at courthouses discourage immigrants from attending hearings.
- These operations reflect a broader strategy to boost deportations but raise fears of undermining public safety and due process, as critics urge legal counsel for immigrants facing court appearances.
