In Phoenix, Arizona, undocumented migrants attending routine immigration court dates are becoming targets for ICE arrests, as the agency exploits their compliance with the legal process. Reports detail episodes of handcuffing individuals directly after court appearances, specifically those aiming to present asylum claims. Many detainees were misled by the absence of identification and warrants from the agents, resulting in a sense of betrayal and fear. Protests erupted outside courthouses against these tactics, with demonstrators drawing comparisons to historical oppressive regimes, highlighting the distress surrounding recent immigration policies across various states.
For the second day in a row, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents took advantage of migrants' appearance in a Phoenix, Arizona courtroom to arrest them.
The agents did not identify themselves or carry arrest warrants, leaving detainees confused and vulnerable to unexpected deportation.
Dozens of people demonstrated outside the courthouse, chanting ICE out! in response to the detentions, reflecting widespread anger over the enforcement tactics.
Some compared ICE agents to the Gestapo, the fearsome police force of the Third Reich, illustrating the deep concerns over current immigration policies.
