Federal Agents Arrest Migrants Outside Immigration Courts
- Federal immigration agents arrested migrants outside immigration courts across several U.S. Cities during the week of May 19, 2025.
- This enforcement followed President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign pledge to increase deportations and was enabled by prosecutors dropping cases to expedite removals.
- Many arrested individuals, including asylum seekers with no criminal records or attorneys, were detained immediately upon exiting courtrooms in locations such as Miami, San Diego, Phoenix, and New York.
- Attorney Wilfredo Allen described this as “to accelerate detentions and expedite removals,” while critics raised concerns about due process being undermined and courts being weaponized.
- The actions may cause fear among migrants, potentially discouraging court appearances and raising ethical and legal questions about mass deportation tactics.
