Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have expanded their presence at airports across the United States, conducting increased patrols and questioning travelers in an effort to identify and detain undocumented immigrants. This heightened enforcement activity has sparked concerns over civil liberties and the tactics used by the federal agency.
On Monday, ICE agents were observed patrolling a terminal at Kennedy International Airport in Queens, a scene that has played out at airports from coast to coast in recent months. The agents, dressed in plain clothes, have been approaching travelers and asking for identification, sometimes leading to the detention of individuals who are unable to provide proper documentation.
