Racial profiling by ICE will have a marked impact on Latino communities

Officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles immigration enforcement operation on June 10, 2025. Some Angelenos rounded up by federal immigration agents have already been deported, according to a new report, as a fuller picture emerges of the immigrants arrested during raids in Los Angeles that have triggered a wave of protests there and in other cities across the US. Other federal agencies are believed to have contributed to the increase in detentions alongside Ice, including the FBI, US Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Immigrant advocacy groups say they have information that more than 200 people were detained and that many do not have criminal records.
