Immigration rights advocates around the United States are raising alarm over the Trump administration’s arrest of dozens of people, including families with children, at U.S. immigration courts nationwide.
Reports have emerged of federal immigration agents ambushing and detaining people at federal buildings in cities including Phoenix, Arizona; Miami; Seattle; New York; Chicago; Los Angeles, and across Northern California and Texas.
Trump policies now allow ICE agents to make arrests at public schools, hospitals, places of worship and other sites that were once off limits.
In other news, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily halted a lower court order directing Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to turn over documents as part of a Freedom of Information Act request.
The Justice Department argued DOGE is not a federal agency and therefore cannot be subject to the FOIA request, which came from the accountability group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW.
This comes as Musk says he’s returned to working “24/7” on his companies, after wreaking havoc in the federal government for the past four months. Musk also announced last week he’ll do a “lot less” political spending going forward.
