Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a significant deportation operation, removing 122 Chinese nationals from the United States on a chartered flight. The group included individuals with criminal convictions, notably one person convicted of murder and others for rape, as part of a broader effort to enhance public safety and national security. The operation, coordinated by ICE’s Dallas office, involved detailed planning and execution, with detainees boarding the flight under supervision. This action followed increased enforcement measures under the current administration, with officials highlighting the removal of individuals with final deportation orders. The operation occurred just days before anti-ICE riots erupted in Los Angeles on June 7, where protests against immigration enforcement actions led to the arrest of several American citizens on charges including federal obstruction and assaulting officers. Separately, on June 22, ICE Atlanta arrested a man in Locust Fork, Alabama, identified as an Iranian national who allegedly served as an army sniper and entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa but failed to adjust his status, leading to his detention pending removal proceedings. Additionally, ICE has initiated removal proceedings against over 26,700 individuals since February 28, 2025, following new guidance on issuing Notices to Appear, with a focus on those lacking legal basis to remain. These efforts align with a reported goal of achieving a minimum of 3,000 arrests per day, reflecting a nationwide push to address immigration enforcement.
