In the early weeks of President Trump's administration, federal immigration agents significantly escalated enforcement activities, arresting thousands of undocumented immigrants. Following Trump’s executive orders, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began reporting daily updates on raids, focusing notably on individuals with prior criminal records. Legislation, including the recently signed Laken Riley Act, facilitates detaining immigrants tied to serious crimes, prompting debate about interactions with California’s sanctuary laws, which protect undocumented residents from local law enforcement collaboration with ICE. This reflects a broader shift in immigration policy emphasizing strict enforcement.
The new law requires federal agents to detain undocumented people charged with or convicted of crimes that result in injury or property damage.
ICE has been active in Sacramento, arresting undocumented individuals, often focusing on those with past criminal convictions as part of Trump's immigration crackdown.
