Most of the attention on President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda has focused on one agency: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which signed partnerships with hundreds of regional law enforcement groups and has drawn the ire of protesters nationwide.

In Norristown, immigration advocates urged all 62 municipalities in Montgomery County to enshrine policies that would limit police and local government cooperation with ICE.

More than 450 people were arrested by ICE at the Benton County Jail from Jan. 1 through Oct. 15, according to ICE arrest data from the University of California Berkeley Deportation Data Project analyzed by AP. That’s more than 1.5 arrests per day in the county of roughly 300,000 people.

A Republican sheriff and staunch immigration opponent, who is currently the leading candidate for the California governor's race, just lost in a significant lawsuit.

The operations were launched a day after President Donald Trump said he’d be sending National Guard troops to New Orleans and disparaged Somali immigrants in Minneapolis.

"They’re not focusing on particular people, they're focusing on particular traits," said attorney Homero López, a former immigration judge. "Those traits tend to be physical in nature.”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Trump administration officials overseeing the immigration crackdown launched this week in New Orleans are aiming to make 5,000 arrests with a focus on violent offenders, a target that some city leaders say is not realistic.

A woman wearing medical scrubs was forcibly removed from her car by federal immigration agents in Key Largo, Florida, footage shows. During the incident, which occurred on Wednesday morning, the woman could be heard shouting that she was a U.S. citizen as agents detained her.

Across New Orleans, residents had anticipated the operation, particularly immigrants. Some businesses had closed while others posted signs saying, “ICE not welcome here.”

Federal agents detained 12 people during an immigration enforcement operation in the Florida Keys last week.

The second Trump administration has significantly ramped up immigration enforcement, putting pressure on federal, state, and local agencies to meet the president’s deportation goals.
