ICE Arrests Surge at Airports and in Communities as Deportation Drive Expands

On July 28, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is conducting a broad deportation drive, with arrests surging at airports and in communities, including planned operations against Haitian communities in Ohio and New York City as their Temporary Protected Status (TPS) expires. Reports indicate that ICE has arrested thousands of children and sponsors after receiving tips from a U.S. child migrant agency. In one case, a Mexican homicide fugitive released under the Biden administration was deported by ICE to Mexico, along with a second murder fugitive. Attorneys confirm that airport arrests are becoming more frequent, marking a new front in the enforcement effort.
