ICE expands detention powers

ICE expands detention powers

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has expanded its agents' authority to detain individuals without a warrant. The New York Times reported that the agency obtained an internal document confirming that ICE officers can now make arrests during raids if they suspect a person is in the country illegally and might flee before an arrest warrant is prepared.

Context

This initiative continues the trend of increased control by U.S. immigration authorities over illegal border crossings.
