In the shadow of the World Cup: Thousands of migrants arrested in the US
During the FIFA World Cup hosted by the United States, immigration authorities have intensified their efforts, resulting in over 10,000 migrants being detained in the past five days. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reportedly increased its focus on apprehending undocumented immigrants for deportation. According to internal documents cited by the New York Times, the number of detainees held by ICE has risen by nearly 4,000, reaching over 63,000 people. This increase comes amid heightened enforcement actions at border checkpoints, traffic stops, and other locations. The Department of Homeland Security emphasized its stance that undocumented individuals would be identified, arrested, and deported. Recent Supreme Court rulings have allowed the Trump administration to deny asylum to certain groups, including Haitians and Syrians, potentially affecting hundreds of thousands of migrants who rely on temporary protection status.
