Wrongful Detentions Rise Amid Increased ICE Funding: What Immigrants Need to Know

Rise in ICE Activity Triggers Wrongful Detention Surge

With the rise of ICE in recent months, there has been a surge in wrongful detention claims, which has caused severe worry and various challenges for immigrants and their families. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been refusing to believe many immigrants who are under protected status in the United States. 

Families Torn Apart by Sudden and Unjust Arrests

Wrongful detention arrests result in harm for immigrants and their families. Officials are separating individuals from their loved ones without notice, causing severe distress and worry. Immigrants fleeing persecution in their homelands face even greater hardships when they arrive in the United States. Reports indicate that authorities often label many arrests as ‘collateral’ arrests, made without warrants or probable cause.

Protected Individuals and U.S. Citizens Wrongfully Targeted

Additionally, it has been reported that many detention officers have made mistakes and arrested U.S. citizens and immigrants who have legitimate legal status in the United States. Moreover, arrests in immigration are challenging to identify and correct. 

Billions in New ICE Funding Deepen Concerns

The government has added $29.9 billion to ICE’s enforcement and deportation operations, ultimately increasing the agency’s annual budget. There’s also $45 billion allocated for the construction of new immigration detention centers

This increase in funding is bringing more power to deportation officers, causing great fear and worry amongst immigrants and their families. 

Immigrants Face Deportation Alone, Without Legal Support

The government does not provide attorneys for those facing deportation and requires them to find their own legal assistance. As many individuals fight the battle alone, an immigration attorney should assist them, as immigration law is complex and requires years of experience and expertise. Studies show the following statistics:

  • Attorneys increase immigrants’ chances of being granted bond by 3.5 times.
  • Immigrants with attorneys are 10 times more likely to establish their right to remain in the United States.

Ultimately, legal representation is often the deciding factor in whether an individual receives justice and compensation.
