How ICE and Border Patrol are harming our communities
"Assume this loutocracy is lying about ICE until proven otherwise." -- George Will, Washington Post, 1.27.2026
The recent fatal shootings in Minneapolis were not the first time that federal immigration officers have killed civilians under the Trump administration, and it wasn’t the first time that officials spread misleading accounts about the shooting victim. From The Marshall Project 1.26.2026
Thirty-two people died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in 2025 – making it the agency’s deadliest year in more than two decades, as the Trump administration moved to detain a record number of people. From The Guardian 1.1.2026
Trump’s destructive and inhumane immigration policies have already stoked immense fear in immigrant communities across the country, and that’s exactly what he wants them to experience. From the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. 2.14.2025
This report by the Immigrant Defense Project and the Center for Constitutional Rights, shows how the harms associated with ICE detention practices are embedded in the structures of the immigration control regime rather than a manifestation of a broken system.
The danger is real. Many elected officials are creating a climate of fear, encouraging immigration raids, abductions, and deportations, and intentionally terrorizing families and communities. For those living through it, the absence of a child, even for a few minutes, can feel like a nightmare come true. From neaToday 9.1.2025
