DHS pushes ICE to escalate asylum-fraud enforcement, including against lawyers

A DHS memo from General Counsel James Percival directs ICE to aggressively use civil fraud tools to crack down on asylum-related fraud, including pursuing penalties against immigration attorneys who file false claims; penalties can include fines, cease-and-desist orders, and potential criminal charges, as part of a broader push to speed removals—a move that has drawn concern from advocates who say it could chill legitimate legal representation.

Fake ICE Agents Target Immigrants in Violent Robberies Across the U.S.

An NBC News/Noticias Telemundo investigation finds a surge in people impersonating ICE officers to rob and harass immigrants, with at least 84 such incidents since 2014 and 31 in 2025 alone, many involving violence. Victims fear reporting due to deportation risk and mistrust of authorities, as impostors often don masks/hoods to imitate real agents. The report notes enforcement and identification gaps, calls for clearer rules on officer identification, and highlights the broader danger these crimes pose to immigrant communities.

ICE funding stalls as Trump ballroom security plan triggers GOP backlash

The US Senate declined to advance a $70 billion immigration-enforcement funding package amid GOP disputes over linking $1 billion for security upgrades to Trump’s White House ballroom and a separate $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund. Democrats say the move blocks a controversial “slush fund,” while Trump defends the ballroom costs as a “very good expenditure,” signaling the row could influence midterm politics as lawmakers head into a recess.

Senate Delays ICE Funding as GOP Wrestles with Trump’s Anti-Weaponization Fund

Senate Republicans postponed a vote on a GOP package funding ICE and Border Patrol until June after a closed briefing raised questions about the administration’s $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund and its guardrails. With Democratic opposition to the fund, leaders plan to attach it to the immigration reconciliation package, and Schumer announced no further votes until June 1. House Republicans were waiting on the Senate, while Memorial Day looms and Trump had pressed for a June 1 deadline, a target now unlikely to be met.

Georgia Town Challenges DHS Over ICE Mega-Detention Plan

A small Georgia town, Social Circle, has sued DHS and ICE over plans to convert a warehouse into a 10,000-person detention facility, arguing it would strain the town’s infrastructure and violate laws; the $128 million purchase price reportedly far exceeds the property’s assessed value and construction hasn’t begun with a 2026 opening target. ICE describes the project as a long-term detention solution with detainees averaging about 60 days, and it’s part of a broader multi-billion expansion of detention capacity; DHS is also auditing the program for cost-effectiveness.

Courts Push Back on ICE Detention Drive, Highlighting Trump-Era Policy Challenges

A POLITICO analysis shows federal judges have ruled against ICE detention in roughly 90% of more than 10,000 decided cases since the Trump administration expanded detention, with about 1,200 rulings in ICE’s favor. The sweeping losses reflect rising court frustration, raise questions about due process and enforcement tactics, and indicate the policy may head to the Supreme Court.

Colorado Judge Orders ICE to Retrain Officers Over Warrantless Arrests

A Denver federal judge ruled that ICE must retrain its Colorado arresting officers, tighten how it documents warrantless arrests, and cover immigrant-attorney fees after finding ongoing violations of a court injunction limiting warrantless arrests; ICE must complete a comprehensive training program within 45 days for all officers authorized to stop people without warrants and may not make such arrests until trained, while also providing training materials, trained-officer lists, and arrest records to defense lawyers. The decision is part of a broader legal challenge to the Trump-era immigration enforcement in Colorado.
