ICE Revamps Arrest Tactics in Phoenix Immigration Courts

Immigration agents have intensified enforcement actions, detaining individuals attending immigration hearings. On Wednesday morning, agents pulled over a mother and her children as they arrived for their scheduled appearance.

This follows a recent wave of arrests, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehended over a dozen people in various locations such as hallways, elevators, and parking lots. These arrests occurred shortly after federal prosecutors moved to dismiss numerous immigration cases, leaving those affected at heightened risk of deportation.

The change in enforcement strategy underscores a significant shift in the approach to immigration hearings and the treatment of individuals awaiting legal proceedings. As the situation continues to evolve, many are left questioning the future of their cases and the broader implications for immigrant communities.
