In recent days, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seems to have adopted new strategies to carry out a greater number of raids and migrant detentions, discretionary operations that have been condemned in Los Angeles, which is now on its sixth day of protests, as well as in many other parts of the country.
These new ways of proceeding could be in response to a meeting that took place at the end of May between ICE officials, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, where the latter two demanded an increase in arrests to 3,000 per day to meet the goals of the Donald Trump administration and to change ICE leadership.
