ICE agents wait in hallways of immigration court as Trump seeks to deliver on mass arrest pledge
- Homeland Security officials have increased enforcement in immigration courts nationwide, including Miami, to execute mass arrests related to immigration cases.
- This surge follows President Trump's campaign promise to remove undocumented immigrants, using new legal tools that accelerate detentions and expedite removals.
- At Miami's immigration court, migrants without criminal records, legal representation, or asylum denials, such as 28-year-old Colombian Juan Serrano, have faced case dismissals followed by immediate arrests by federal agents.
- An immigration attorney described the government's approach as aimed at speeding up the detention and removal process, while families affected by these actions expressed profound distress; one father tearfully shared that his entire life felt shattered.
- These new tactics may create a chilling effect in Miami's migrant community, discouraging law-abiding individuals from attending court due to fear of arrest, which could undermine access to justice.
