Two men arrested by ICE inside Stamford courthouse bathroom

Two men were arrested by ICE agents inside a Stamford courthouse on August 11, 2025, around 11:15 a.m. Federal officers in military-style vests entered the building, forced open a bathroom door, and removed the men in handcuffs. Witnesses reported the use of pepper spray and described the operation as aggressive and disruptive to court proceedings. The arrests occurred after President Trump's administration reversed a federal policy that had prohibited immigration enforcement in courthouses.
