From 2011 to 2013, plainclothes officers at the 6th Precinct in New York City arrested individuals for minor offenses while enforcing a strict standard of law in nightlife areas. During a 2012 arrest, an officer realized the panic and helplessness felt by a woman being detained, unaware of who was enforcing the law. Recently, under Trump's administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has intensified efforts to deport immigrants, escalating the aggressive, anonymous methods of enforcement, leading to fear among many innocent individuals overall.
"The woman went weak in the knees, her eyes filled with panic... She was helpless and she was terrified."
"ICE allows its agents to conduct operations in plain clothes and to cover their faces."
"This approach looks scary. It is scary. And it's a grave mistake."
"Something like this scene has been playing out across America lately."
