The WHO declaration of an Ebola emergency in Congo on May 17, 2026, forced suspension of deportations to that destination, resulting in his temporary release following legal challenges and community advocacy.","incidentType":"Detained, Deported, Refugee/Asylum, Court Order Violation, Litigation, 3rd Country Deportation, Protest / Intervention, Court/USCIS/Immigration Office, Detention Conditions","country":"Bolivia","createdAt":"2026-05-30T14:00:09.031Z"},{"id":5852,"url":"https://www.aol.com/news/cried-way-home-ice-agents-195906016.html","altSources":"[\"https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/cried-way-home-ice-agents-195906024.html\"]","date":"5/29/2026","location":"Bluffton, SC","latitude":32.2371465,"longitude":-80.8603868,"headline":"15+ people detained in ICE operation at Bluffton government center","summary":"On May 29, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted a coordinated operation at Myrtle Park Government Center in Bluffton, South Carolina, detaining over 15 people who had failed to comply with deportation orders.

The Trump administration characterized the deportation as an \"administrative error\" but based it on a 2019 police report alleging gang membership that Garcia denied and was never charged with. After the Supreme Court unanimously ruled on April 10, 2025, that the government must return him, Garcia was brought back to the U.S. in June 2025. Upon return, federal prosecutors indicted him on human smuggling charges in Tennessee. In May 2026, a federal judge dismissed the charges, finding the prosecution was vindictive retaliation for Garcia's successful legal challenge to his deportation. The Trump administration subsequently pursued removal to Liberia and other African countries, but federal courts repeatedly blocked these attempts.","incidentType":"Deported, Court Order Violation, Litigation, Court/USCIS/Immigration Office, Detained, 3rd Country Deportation, Detention Conditions, Deportation, Vehicle/Traffic Stop, Criminal/Detainer, Home/Residence, Denaturalization, Officer Misconduct","country":"Mexico","createdAt":"2026-05-11T21:45:49.029Z"},{"id":5805,"url":"https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2026/05/28/exclusive-ice-seeks-custody-illegal-alien-accused-texas-shooting-memorial-day-weekend/","altSources":"[\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/05/28/ice-lodges-detainer-previously-deported-illegal-alien-charged-over-memorial-day\",\"https://www.moorenews.com/news/state/mexican-national-faces-federal-charges-for-firearm-possession-after-holiday-shooting-incident/article_446b91ea-ff1b-51df-aeed-5c7ef5943395.html\",\"https://www.kristv.com/news/local-news/259-charged-in-one-week-under-operation-take-back-america\",\"https://www.mytexasdaily.com/south-texas/operation-take-back-america-leads-to-259-immigration-related-charges-in-texas/article_5cb2a53d-538d-55b4-ac6b-a7cb11150ed5.html\",\"https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/criminal-illegal-alien-arrested-texas-allegedly-opening-fire-neighbors-assault-rifle\"]","date":"5/23/2026","location":"New Caney, TX","latitude":30.155216,"longitude":-95.2113221,"headline":"Previously deported Mexican national arrested for shooting multiple people in Texas","summary":"Juan Ayala-Montero, a 60-year-old Mexican national with an extensive criminal record including prior homicide and assault convictions, was arrested on May 23, 2026, after allegedly shooting multiple people in New Caney, Texas over the Memorial Day weekend.

The action was prompted by the detention of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father by ICE in Minneapolis, who were subsequently sent to the South Texas Family Detention Center in Dilley. The coalition demands an end to family detention, citing documented abuse and neglect in detention centers. Children's Defense Fund–Texas and local advocates organized a vigil at Austin City Hall to protest family detention at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, following ICE's transfer of five-year-old Liam Ramos and his father from Minneapolis to the facility. The vigil is part of a national call to end family detention, with U.S. Representatives conducting an oversight visit of the facility and advocates citing conditions including medical neglect, hunger, and inadequate access to clean water. Approximately 40 women detained at Karnes County Residential Center in Texas participated in a five-day hunger strike to protest detention conditions, low wages ($3/day), and lack of bond opportunities. The women, many of whom fled to the U.S. due to safety concerns, ended the strike and gave ICE 10 days to release them. Participants and their children were placed in solitary confinement in the medical wing as retaliation for the strike. Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos from Ecuador and his father Adrian Conejo Arias were detained at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley after their arrest in Minneapolis. U.S. Representatives Joaquin Castro and Jasmine Crockett visited the facility and called for their release, noting the child's deteriorating mental health. During protests on January 28, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers deployed pepper spray and pepper ball projectiles against demonstrators, resulting in two arrests. Dozens of migrant families held a protest at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, demanding freedom and opposing federal immigration enforcement tactics. The demonstration was sparked by attention to 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, who were detained by ICE in Minnesota and transferred to Dilley. A federal judge blocked their deportation, and on Wednesday, lawmakers and community leaders planned to call for their release and urge more humane enforcement practices. Scripps News interviewed parents detained at an ICE family detention center in Dilley, Texas, including Aury Cadena, who spent 50 days there with her three children despite a 20-day legal limit for children in detention. Detainees filed hundreds of complaints about inadequate medical care, including long wait times for medical attention and concerns about emergency response capabilities. Cadena, who arrived seeking asylum from Venezuela in 2023 and was arrested at a scheduled check-in appointment in December, was eventually released with ankle monitoring as her deportation case continues.","incidentType":"Minor/Family, Detained, Detention Conditions, Resistance, Litigation, Court/USCIS/Immigration Office","country":"Ecuador","createdAt":"2026-03-22T16:53:32.614Z"},{"id":2050,"url":"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/26/ice-minneapolis-shooting-alex-pretti","altSources":"[\"https://www.npr.org/2026/01/25/nx-s1-5687875/minneapolis-shooting-minnesota-ice-alex-pretti-dhs-investigation\",\"https://www.fox9.com/news/ice-minnesota-federal-judge-lifts-order-bca-lawsuit-over-evidence-preservation\",\"https://www.fox9.com/news/alex-pretti-shooting-scene-evidence-preservation-argued-court-jan-26-2026\",\"https://www.fox9.com/news/alex-pretti-shooting-minnesota-bca-says-fbi-has-denied-them-access-evidence-case\",\"https://www.fox9.com/news/alex-pretti-shooting-minnesota-bca-working-fbi-feb-7\",\"https://fox9.com/video/fmc-9vnej5t0clszzcb2\",\"https://www.cbsnews.com/video/federal-accounts-of-alex-pretti-shooting-clash-with-evidence-minnesota-officials/\",\"http://mprnews.org/story/2026/01/25/alex-pretti-shooting-judge-grants-restraining-order-on-altering-evidence\",\"https://www.propublica.org/article/alex-pretti-shooting-cbp-agents-identified-jesus-ochoa-raymundo-gutierrez\",\"https://keyt.com/news/national-world/cnn-national/2026/01/29/how-two-federal-agents-escalated-an-encounter-with-alex-pretti-into-a-deadly-shooting/\",\"https://calmatters.org/investigation/2026/03/agents-of-chaos-border-patrol/\",\"https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yvw89p3p1o\",\"https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/53972-what-americans-think-about-immigration-enforcement-and-the-death-of-alex-pretti\",\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DVzThamkoO5/?igsh=NjZiM2M3MzIxNA%3D%3D\",\"https://www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/was-alex-pretti-flagged-how-one-encounter\",\"https://quokk.au/post/626287\",\"https://abc6onyourside.com/news/nation-world/encrypted-chats-show-agitators-were-at-minnesota-scene-before-alex-pretti-was-shot-report-donald-trump-jd-vance-minneapolis\"]","date":"1/28/2026","location":"Minneapolis, MN","latitude":44.9772995,"longitude":-93.2654692,"headline":"Border Patrol agents fatally shoot U.S. citizen Alex Pretti in Minneapolis","summary":"Border Patrol agents Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and intensive care nurse, on January 24, 2026, in Minneapolis.

Federal agents stopped Noemi Chavez; her husband, Jaime Ramirez; their 8-year-old daughter, Dasha Ramirez; and their 3-year-old son and took them away in a white van during a family outing Sunday at the park. Witnesses saw Dasha Ramirez crying and clutching a doll during the arrests. The incident was caught on video and shared widely on social media. Chavez told the Tribune the family made the outing because Dasha “really wanted to visit Millennium Park.” Dasha and her little brother were playing in the water at the Crown Fountain when federal agents approached their parents, according to the Tribune. Albany Park resident Lauren Rappold said she saw the photos and videos of the family being detained and recognized them immediately. Her son attends Grover Cleveland Elementary School and is in the same third-grade class as Dasha. Rappold shared the information in a Cleveland Elementary moms group and spoke with a neighbor who had been able to get in contact with Chavez via WhatsApp. The neighbor, who asked not to be identified, told Rappold that Chavez and her two children had been taken to O’Hare’s immigration customs enforcement area at Terminal 5. Chavez told the Tribune that federal officers declined to show her a warrant during the arrest. Border Protection did not respond to a request for comment. Rappold brought a bag with fresh clothes, diapers and medicine to O’Hare on Monday morning. Chavez confirmed she got the bag over WhatsApp and said she was told she will be kept at O’Hare until there are enough people to fill a plane to send to a detention center in Texas, Rappold said. ✍️ Full story by @Writtenbymollyd in our link in bio.📸 Provided","incidentType":"Detained, Minor/Family, Student, Public Space/Street","country":"Guatemala","createdAt":"2026-03-06T14:57:52.046Z"},{"id":5915,"url":"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2026/06/01/ice-transparency-immigrants-disappear-transfers","altSources":null,"date":"10/2025","location":"Portland, ME","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"headline":"Somali immigrant vanished through rapid ICE transfers, deported without family contact","summary":"Abdullahi Mohamed, a Somali immigrant who had lived in the U.S. for over 25 years on an order of supervision with valid work authorization, was detained by ICE in October 2025 during a routine check-in.
