ICE Detains 48 Migrants in New Mexico Amid Growing Advocacy Concerns
Recent operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have led to the detention of 48 undocumented migrants across three cities in New Mexico. Among those arrested, 20 individuals possess criminal charges or convictions, prompting immigration attorneys and advocates to raise alarms about the lack of information regarding the detainees. Multiple complaints have been filed, including formal grievances by the ACLU of New Mexico and immigrant advocates, following claims that these individuals have effectively ‘disappeared’ without sufficient details about their status being made available. Lawmakers in New Mexico are currently debating immigration issues, amid these developments and the concern over human rights implications of such detentions.
