ICE launches enforcement operations in NYC targeting immigrants with prior detainers
Aug 10, 2026 · Queens, NY, Mexico
ICE began enforcement operations in Queens on Monday and planned to move to Long Island on Tuesday, targeting people who had prior immigration detainers that were not upheld by local law enforcement. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized the operations and called for ICE's abolition following a fatal shooting of a Mexican immigrant in Houston. The operations reflect the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement policies.
