U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) resumed raids targeting illegal immigrants working at agricultural businesses, hotels, and restaurants across the United States, reversing a brief pause in such operations. The decision, announced by Trump administration officials, directed ICE agents to conduct enforcement actions in major cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, focusing on individuals lacking legal status. Posts found on X indicate that these raids align with a broader initiative to enhance public safety, with officials reporting the arrest of over 3,000 individuals in the past week alone since the policy shift on June 10. The operations involved coordinated efforts with local law enforcement, leading to the detention of workers at farms and hospitality sites, with specific actions noted in Texas and California. Data from ICE suggests that approximately 26,700 individuals have faced removal proceedings since February 28, 2025, following updated guidance on issuing Notices to Appear. The raids have prompted varied responses, with some areas reporting increased security presence to manage public gatherings. No specific injuries or major incidents were reported during the operations, and ICE continues to process detainees for deportation. The administration has set a target of maintaining at least 3,000 arrests per day, reflecting a nationwide enforcement push, with further actions planned in the coming weeks to address immigration violations.
