Some of the 8,000 migrants arrested in Trump’s deportation crackdown have already been released due to legal constraints, according to reports.
ICE agents conducted raids in cities like New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, but federal courts limit how long detainees can be held, especially if their home countries refuse to take them back. Released migrants are placed in monitoring programs while their cases proceed. ICE prioritizes detaining those deemed public safety threats, and there’s no evidence of criminals being released. Trump’s administration continues pushing aggressive immigration policies.
