The Trump administration converted industrial warehouses across the country into immigration detention facilities as part of a deportation initiative, with ICE spending $895 million on 10 warehouses. A protest occurred in Roxbury, New Jersey, where over 1,000 residents opposed a planned detention center. ICE arrests increased compared to the Biden administration. Agents targeted immigrants without criminal records, refugees, green-card holders, DACA recipients, and U.S. citizens. There were deaths in ICE custody in fiscal year 2026.
