Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested more than 500 people on Thursday, including during a raid on a worksite in New Jersey that a local official called an “egregious act” that violated the Fourth Amendment.

Newark Mayor Ray Baraka said ICE officials detained undocumented residents as well as citizens during a raid on a business, without producing a warrant. One of the people detained, Baraka said, was a U.S. military veteran “who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.”

“This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees ‘the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures…’” the mayor said in a

An ICE spokesperson defended the arrests in a statement to media outlets, saying the agency may encounter some citizens “while conducting field work and may request identification to establish an individual’s identity as was the case during a targeted enforcement operation at a worksite today.”

“The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway,” she wrote on X. “Promises made. Promises kept.”

. Puerto Ricans are US citizens. “I asked [the agents] what documentation they were looking for, and they said it was a license or a passport. I thought, who walks around with a passport?” Janota told PIX11, noting that the agents didn’t ask him for his white workers’ documentation.

“One of the guys was a military veteran, and the way he looked to me was because he was Hispanic. He is Puerto Rican and the manager of our warehouse,” he said. “It looked to me like they were specifically going after certain kinds of people—not every kind, because they did not ask me for documentation or my American workers, Portuguese workers, or white workers.”

everyone is entitled to due process, and that it focuses on removing criminals and public safety threats.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the ICE officers stayed in the public part of Ocean Food Depot or also searched the employee-only areas.

Throughout his re-election campaign, Trump vowed repeatedly to deport up to 10 million undocumented immigrants. On his first day in office, he declared a national emergency in a bid to mobilize the military to assist with deportations.

On Thursday night the acting head of the Department of Homeland Security signed a memo giving ICE officials the power to deport about 1.4 million people who were allowed to enter the country temporarily and thought they were in the U.S. legally, the

reported.

The move shows Trump isn’t just targeting people who snuck across the border, but who came to the U.S. via official, authorized pathways, according to the Times. Critics have said the ICE memo is legally questionable and a “betrayal” of the people who followed the rules.

On Thursday, ICE wrote on the social media site X that it had made 538 arrests and lodged 373
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
, meaning it identified 373 people already in police custody who might not be citizens. Local law enforcement is then asked to notify ICE before releasing the detainee from custody.

At that rate it will take ICE about 51 years to arrest the 10 million undocumented immigrants Trump has promised to deport, not counting all the U.S. citizens that accidentally get swept up in the raids.

I wonder why a US citizen was detained?
What could he have in common with the rest of them?
It was a sweep. They had no warrant. They also had no probable cause.

Wait til you see the lawsuits from just this event.

“We are the goon squad and we’re coming to town, beep beep”


As the Trump administration continues its mass deportation raids, the Navajo Nation is not immune to its impact. At least 15 Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico were detained and questioned about their US citizenship status, according to Navajo Nation officials.

On Jan. 23, the Naabik’íyáti’ Committee called on the Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren to take urgent action to address concerns about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley emphasized the immediate need for the Executive Branch to issue protocols for tribal members living off-reservation.

“Our people are reaching out to us directly, and their needs are urgent,” said Speaker Curley. “We must act swiftly to ensure their safety and well-being. Our constituents are depending on us for solutions."

Senator Theresa Hatathlie reported virtually on a case in which a Navajo citizen was detained for nine hours, highlighting the need for emergency protocols.

She stressed that many tribal members struggle with documentation, which has worsened under the recent ICE sweeps. Despite possessing Certificates of Indian Blood (CIBs) and state-issued IDs, several individuals have been detained or questioned by ICE agents who do not recognize these documents as valid proof of citizenship.

In response, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren has launched Operation Rainbow Bridge and a hotline to help Indigenous people prepare themselves for further raids.

He advised Navajos to carry state-issued identification, such as a driver’s license, other picture identification, or their Certificate of Indian blood, a CIB.

“It’s best to be prepared,” Nygren said. “Having your state ID is crucial, and if you possess a CIB, it can provide an additional layer of reassurance.” People with concerns or questions can call 855- 435-7672 or 855-HELP-ORB.

Isn't it interesting that people indigenous to the Americas are met with suspicion for being on this land? But not those that came across the Atlantic.
