U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is facing lawsuits and legislative pushback over its deportation operations and a major expansion plan. The Trump administration is moving forward with a $38.3 billion plan to add tens of thousands of detention beds, but Maryland has sued to stop construction of a new facility, and a new bill in Congress aims to restrict the building of ICE warehouses.
Federal judges have issued several rulings against ICE's actions, including ordering the agency to allow clergy to give communion to detained migrants and to facilitate the return of some deported individuals for court hearings. A majority of Americans reportedly believe the Trump administration's deportation campaign is going too far, and there is public debate about ICE's presence in communities, including hospitals and schools.
