ICE arrests over 10,000 migrants in 5 days in the US
ICE made more than 10,000 arrests in the last five days. The operations intensified immediately after the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has significantly accelerated its operations nationwide. ICE made more than 10,000 arrests in the last five days.
This surge in operations came immediately after the Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's attempt to end birthright citizenship. The court upheld the long-standing policy that children born in the U.S. are citizens regardless of their parents' legal status.
Supreme Court deals blow to Trump
The Supreme Court based its decision on the 14th Amendment. The ruling stated, "Children born in the U.S. to parents who are here illegally or temporarily are 'subject to the jurisdiction of the United States' and are citizens by birth under the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment."
Trump reacted sharply to the ruling in a post on Truth Social. Calling on Congress to amend the Constitution to pave the way for ending birthright citizenship, Trump said, "There is no need for a long and cumbersome Constitutional Amendment! Congress must start working TODAY to end Birthright Citizenship, which is costly and unfair for our country."
Most detainees have criminal records
DHS Deputy Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement that the vast majority of arrests involved illegal immigrants who had previously been charged with or convicted of a crime. "Approximately 70 percent of ICE arrests consist of illegal aliens who have been charged with or convicted of a crime in the U.S.," Bis said.
Bis emphasized the administration's determination, saying, "Our message is clear: If you come to our country illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and deport you." The funding for the operations was increased with funds from the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which is approaching its first anniversary of enactment.
Protests and organized resistance
Protests are being held across the country against ICE's intensified operations. In late May, violent clashes broke out between demonstrators and ICE agents and local law enforcement at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey.
An investigation by Fox News Digital, based on field reports, encrypted Signal group chats, tax returns, and strategy documents, revealed that the protests in Newark were not a spontaneous grassroots movement. According to the investigation, the actions are the product of years of coordinated planning by about 100 groups, including major names such as the ACLU, Indivisible, and Democratic Socialists of America. The total annual revenue of these organizations is approximately $825 million, a figure that matches the annual budget of the city of Newark.
