ICE agents wait in hallways of immigration court as Trump seeks to deliver on mass arrest pledge
- On Wednesday, Colombian migrant Juan Serrano, 28, was detained at the Miami immigration courthouse after a hearing he expected to be a routine check-in.
- The detention followed new enforcement tactics by the Trump administration aimed at accelerating removals through legal levers, despite challenges like lawsuits and lack of detention facilities.
- Government attorneys unexpectedly asked to drop Serrano's case, and five federal agents arrested him along with about a dozen other migrants, many without criminal records or legal representation.
- Serrano fled Colombia due to political threats, sought asylum in 2024, and lived a law-abiding life with his girlfriend in Miami, while his case dismissal initially gave his father hope before the arrest occurred.
- Immigration attorneys warn these tactics cause fear among migrants, likely discouraging court appearances and chilling Miami’s migrant community amid a coordinated nationwide dragnet.

The majority lasts less than five minutes and ends with a judge ordering those who seem to return within two years to present their arguments against deportation. So it was a s…
