ICE Immigration Enforcement Operations
April 4 – April 7, 2026
Where Things Stand
ICE is currently carrying out a major wave of arrests and deportations targeting non-citizens with criminal records like murder and drug trafficking. The agency uses legal tools called detainers to take custody of these individuals from local police before they can be released. This enforcement push is a central part of the administration's current fight for more border security funding from Congress.
