ICE agents broadcast bystanders' names, home addresses during Maplewood arrest
Sep 21, 2026·Location: Maplewood, NJ

ICE agents detained an unidentified man at the corner of Prospect Street and Revere Avenue in Maplewood, NJ on the morning of September 21, 2026. As bystanders filmed the arrest, agents used what appeared to be license plate and database lookups to identify and call out the names and home addresses of observers, including Maplewood resident Darnell James, who was filming from his car with his two young children, and resident Liz Callahan, telling them to go back inside or return home. Callahan described the tactic as intended "to intimidate or suppress the community from being out and being responsive," and immigration attorney Kate Reilly called the use of government databases in this way "outrageous" and a possible violation of the Privacy Act of 1974.
