1. Immigration Enforcement and Policy

1.1 ICE Operations and Deportations

The Trump administration has intensified immigration enforcement operations across the country, particularly in Los Angeles. Following White House intervention after deportation numbers fell short of campaign promises, federal agents were instructed to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens” [1]. The Department of Homeland Security reports that ICE is targeting individuals they describe as the “worst of the worst illegal alien criminals” including those accused of violent crimes [2]. These operations continue despite significant public protests. Mexican authorities have begun providing legal assistance to undocumented migrants arrested by ICE in Los Angeles [3], introducing an international dimension to the enforcement actions.
