Investigation reveals 93% of ICE arrests target Latinos
An investigation reveals that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has conducted a series of street arrests predominantly targeting Latino communities in New York and New Jersey. Over a five-month period, 430 arrests were documented through lawsuits, with more than 93% of those targeted from Latin American countries, despite Latinos constituting only 66% of unauthorized immigrants in the region. The arrests often occurred unexpectedly in residential areas, causing fear and trauma among immigrants, with reports of violence, racial profiling, and violations of constitutional rights. Legal challenges and court rulings have criticized ICE’s practices, highlighting concerns over legality and racial bias in enforcement tactics.
