TL;DR

ICE has made over 400,000 arrests in Trump's second term, with a disproportionate number targeting Latinos. Court records show racial profiling is rampant, even when there’s no resemblance beyond skin color.

ICE has ramped up street arrests in New York, making 93% of them involving Latinos despite only 66% being part of the local undocumented population. This isn't just a coincidence; court documents reveal a pattern where agents detain individuals who look like their targets, often mistaking them for someone else. Over 400,000 arrests were made in Trump's second term, with many involving Latinos without criminal records or deportation orders. The Supreme Court has ruled that racial profiling is permissible in immigration enforcement, leading to a surge in these kinds of arrests.
