Recent immigration enforcement actions have led to the detention and even deportation of American citizens, including vulnerable groups like children and individuals with serious health issues. Democratic Congress members are pushing for investigations into these practices, citing violations of civil rights, especially in Latino and Native American communities. They emphasize that ICE’s policy is clear: it cannot detain U.S. citizens, yet reports indicate that citizens are mistakenly arrested, sometimes involving violent methods. Frustration has grown over the lack of accountability and clarity from the Trump Administration regarding these issues.
ICE's policy establishes that, by law, 'ICE cannot assert its civil immigration enforcement authority to arrest and/or detain a U.S. citizen.' Recent incidents indicate deviations from this guideline.
Multiple cases have shown ICE deporting U.S. citizens, including children, alongside their undocumented parents, often against the families’ expressed wishes.
