Following the start of Donald Trump's second presidency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have ramped up efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, emphasizing that no one will receive a free pass anymore. ICE officers in Maryland recently conducted targeted operations to apprehend individuals with serious criminal backgrounds who were in the country illegally.
Under the new administration, ICE's enforcement priorities remain focused on individuals deemed public safety and national security threats. Notably, a significant change from the previous administration is the authorization for officers to arrest individuals without legal status if encountered during operations targeting specific removal cases.
