Event Overview
More than 200,000 people believed to be undocumented have been arrested over the past 30 days, according to data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. At least 8,000 people have been deported. The majority countries of origin were South and Central America, but ICE data shows a significant number of arrests of Indians, Chinese, and Russians. ICE has been instructed to arrest at least 1,200-1,500 people per day.
Speakers this week will discuss how immigrants can protect themselves when ICE agents show up at homes, workplaces, and even schools. They will also discuss immigrants’ rights while in ICE detention. This “news you can use” briefing is vital to your readers and viewers.
