Nine congressional Democrats sent a letter to President Trump urging him to direct ICE agents to stop harassing Native American citizens. The letter detailed incidents in Arizona and New Mexico where ICE agents stopped, questioned, or detained at least 15 Indigenous individuals, including a Tribal citizen questioned about U.S. citizenship at a convenience store.

The U.S. Department of Justice issued a stop work order to the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network and other immigrant legal service organizations following President Trump's executive order on immigration enforcement. The Colorado nonprofit, which provides free legal representation to immigrants in the Aurora ICE detention center and Denver immigration court, has been ordered to suspend operations immediately. The action affects thousands of immigrants, with over 85% of those fighting deportation in Colorado lacking attorney representation.

State Rep. Hoan Huynh said federal Customs and Border Patrol agents stopped him at gunpoint on Chicago's Northwest Side while he was conducting community education about ICE rights. Six agents surrounded his vehicle near Montrose Avenue and Kimball Avenue, with one agent pulling a gun. A DHS official stated Huynh was stalking law enforcement and interfering with operations.

Federal immigration officers made nearly 9,000 arrests in Virginia in 2025, marking a nearly 500% increase from approximately 1,500 arrests during the final year of President Biden's term. Between January and March 2025, deportation officers had already detained roughly 2,000 people in Virginia. Over 2,600 of the arrests were categorized as 'general area' arrests linked to Richmond's ICE office, and approximately 85% of those arrested had not been charged with a crime.
