ICE arrests over 2,200 immigrants in a day, sparking local protests in Chicago.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) set a record by arresting over 2,200 immigrants in a single day across the U.S., with many arrests targeting individuals in the Alternative to Detention (ATD) program. This program allows monitored release for non-threatening undocumented immigrants. The surge in arrests follows pressure from the White House and includes tactics like luring individuals to ICE offices with text messages, only to arrest them. In Chicago, at least 10 immigrants were arrested after being asked to attend routine appointments. Local officials condemned the actions, citing concerns over fair court processes and community safety.
