What happened
The administration directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enforce anti-fraud policies. This has resulted in a surge of ICE enforcement, particularly in California’s Central Valley, where agents have been detaining people at a high pace. This increased enforcement is reportedly reducing tax contributions from undocumented workers.

Why it matters
The increased enforcement actions are causing economic shifts in areas reliant on undocumented labor, leading to empty farm fields and abandoned construction sites. The reduction in tax contributions from targeted undocumented workers could affect federal safety-net programs like Medicare.
The Department of Homeland Security directed ICE attorneys to pursue cases as the administration pushes to expand federal law enforcement.
