What happened
The Trump administration has been implementing various policy shifts regarding immigration enforcement since June 2026. Most recently, guidance was issued to ICE officers around the country regarding arrests of immigrants with no criminal record. Sources indicate that this guidance was reportedly reversed, though the origin of the order remains unclear. President Donald Trump stated that anyone in the country illegally remains subject to arrest and deportation.
