Eight immigrants sued ICE over warrantless arrests during Trump crackdown
Apr 9, 2026

Eight immigrants and advocacy organizations filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that ICE agents routinely conducted warrantless arrests and detentions without reasonable suspicion, in violation of constitutional protections. The complaint describes plaintiffs being detained during routine activities including while traveling to work, on the street, and during traffic stops, with some transferred between detention facilities out of state before formal documentation was provided. The lawsuit also alleges that enforcement actions disproportionately targeted Latino communities in New York.
