Trump Administration Eases Restrictions on ICE Arrests in Sensitive Locations

The Trump administration has announced a major policy shift, allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to conduct arrests in locations previously considered sensitive, such as schools, churches, and hospitals. This reversal of the Biden-era guidelines has sparked fears within immigrant communities, who are now bracing for potential raids. The new directives enable ICE to target educational institutions and places of worship, raising concerns about the safety of undocumented individuals, especially in cities like Chicago and New York. Advocacy groups are responding by pledging protection for these communities as the policies clear the way for aggressive immigration enforcement in areas that were once shielded.
