ICE raids aren’t new, but the Trump administration has escalated its tactics with cruelty—targeting schools, houses of worship, courthouses, and other previously protected spaces.
Families are being targeted, detained, and denied access to legal help. There is no justice when any person can be torn from their life like this, without a hearing or the chance to understand and defend their rights.
People caught up in ICE raids who are facing detention and deportation do not have the right to a free public defender. Without a lawyer, it is extremely difficult for immigrants to win their case.
