ICE shifts to stealth tactics as arrests surge nationwide
Original: Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is arresting more people than ever after the Trump administration switched from high-profile 'siege' operations to quick, low-visibility operations dubbed 'soft feet'. The Guardian reports agents now detain people in seconds and vanish, a response to earlier public backlash against visible sweeps, meaning ICE is effectively 'everywhere' with little warning.
Why now: The reported surge in stealthy ICE arrests and the administration's tactical shift are drawing fresh scrutiny of US immigration enforcement.
