What happened

Well supportedReported by 29 independent outlets

The Trump administration is considering a new, costly immigration enforcement tool that involves loading migrants onto ships and sailing them to Central and South America, according to reports citing U.S. officials. Meanwhile, the Trump administration refuted reports that ICE was standing down on deportations, stating that ICE may now only arrest illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges. In a recent targeted operation, the Department of Homeland Security arrested individuals, including a native of Guatemala, in Morristown.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Department of Homeland Security is utilizing its authority to enforce new federal immigration policies. The consideration of large-scale maritime transport methods, such as using the Training Ship Golden Bear, suggests a potential shift toward high-cost enforcement strategies. These actions are being carried out under the direction of the Trump administration.

The administration previously dialed back regulatory enforcement and purged officials in May 2026, while Donald Trump nominated Sarah B. Rogers for a senior official post.
