On May 21, 2025, ICE agents executed a series of arrests outside the Miami immigration courthouse, surprising men as they left their hearings. Dressed in plain clothes, officers monitored routine proceedings and apprehended four individuals, causing widespread concern among immigrant communities. Notably, Department of Homeland Security attorneys requested to dismiss deportation cases, preventing ICE from initiating expedited removal, a swift deportation process. This incident reflects a troubling trend in immigration enforcement, echoing actions from earlier administrations, yet targeting individuals without criminal records.
"I am not afraid," a Cuban man said to his wife and daughter as ICE agents arrested him.
Department of Homeland Security attorneys moved to drop the deportation cases before immigration judges, which prevents ICE from placing individuals into expedited removal.
