Grim Start To 2026: ICE Custody Deaths Pile Up After Deadliest Year On Record

MS NOW senior correspondent Jacob Soboroff highlighted the Trump administration's strategy of using reporters and footage from ICE raids as instruments to promote its immigration agenda, suggesting that this approach manipulates public perception.

An ICE detainer has been issued for an El Salvadoran national charged with the murders of two teenagers, aged 16 and 18, in Charlotte, North Carolina. This incident has reignited discussions surrounding the state's sanctuary policies, particularly in light of the suspect's immigration status.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey stated that he does not support abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), while expressing criticism of the agency's operations under the Trump administration during an interview on Fox News. This statement comes amid rising tensions in Minneapolis following a series of incidents involving ICE.

An AI error in processing applications for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has resulted in numerous new recruits being deployed to field offices without adequate training, raising concerns about operational effectiveness and safety. Sources indicate that this oversight could have significant implications for the agency's ability to perform its duties effectively.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey defended the city's sanctuary policies following the tragic incident where an illegal immigrant allegedly killed a woman while driving under the influence. This event has intensified the ongoing debate regarding cooperation between local law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Democrats are calling for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minnesota. Good, described as a 'poet' who chose 'love', was involved in an incident where the ICE agent was injured after being struck by her vehicle. The shooting has sparked outrage and demands for accountability from the Democratic party.

Renee Good's family has engaged the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family to investigate the fatal shooting of Good by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. They allege that Good was killed while attempting to comply with the agents' instructions during the incident.

In Minneapolis, a video surfaced showing ICE agents forcibly removing a woman from her vehicle while she pleaded that she was disabled. The incident escalated when an Enforcement and Removal Operations agent smashed the passenger-side window, drawing public attention and concern.
