A group of migrants who went to a federal building in Los Angeles for their immigration check-in appointments were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this week, brought to a basement and held there, some overnight. The incident comes as arrests in federal buildings become increasingly common and the Trump administration seeks to increase the number of daily detentions.
It is unclear how many migrants were taken into custody, but attorneys in Los Angeles told CBS News, which first reported on this story, that hundreds were detained— dozens in the basement in rooms that could fit up to 30 at a time.
