US EditionWith ICE (maybe) waiting in the wings, Newport sits in limbo
The removal of the Coast Guard helicopter base reduces local rescue capacity while federal contractors seek to lease airport land and advertise for ICE detention officers, raising community concerns.
- Since the start of this year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed some 600 immigrant children in government shelters, exceeding the previous four years' total and setting a decade-long record.
- In around 150 cases, children were taken into federal custody after traffic stops, a trend especially visible in Florida where thousands of state and local police have been deputized to enforce federal immigration laws.
- Children face longer stays in shelters, with the average length of stay nearly six months, and around 160 cases involved child welfare concerns including separation from families and daily routines.
- The government says it has checked on more than 24,400 children in person, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans a national, 24-hour call center with new vetting and former ICE officials leading the resettlement office.
- A 2023 settlement limited separations at the border but not those after Immigration and Customs Enforcement encounters, while family separations are occurring nationwide again to deter others.
