Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of Florida paid \u003ca href=\"https://www.wlrn.org/immigration/2025-05-29/krome-miami-wasserman-schultz\">a surprise visit\u003c/a> there last week. She told NPR that in the intake area, two to three dozen men are “crammed into the perimeter of a very tiny room for up to 48 hours. They defecate in front of each other, they eat, they sleep on stone floors. It’s really inhumane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say this situation is playing out nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have seen a rapid deterioration over the last few months,” says Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director at the nonprofit advocacy group Detention Watch Network. “We’re hearing reports … that there isn’t enough food.” She says she’s increasingly been hearing accounts from people in detention going hungry. “I’ve heard people use the word ‘starving.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/ice-acting-director-says-9-people-died-in-custody-since-january/3567956\">nine deaths in ICE detention since January\u003c/a>, which is on track to be the deadliest year \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting\">since 2020\u003c/a>. At least three of those deaths have been in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Major expansion of detention facilities coming\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is promising to increase the rate of arrests of immigrants to 3,000 people a day. “President Trump is going to keep pushing to get that number up higher each and every single day,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told Fox News \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJNXsOqFSZs&list=RDNSMJNXsOqFSZs&start_radio=1\">last week\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller was discussing the sweeping budget bill passed by the House and now before the Senate. It would provide $75 billion over the next couple of years in additional funding for ICE, including $45 billion for detention facilities and $14.4 billion for removal operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can have, permanently, the safest, strongest, most secure system in American history,” Miller told the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigrant advocates warn the measure will expand mass detention and surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that it is not designed to increase the removals of people who are not legally allowed to be here,” says Deborah Fleischaker, former acting chief of staff for ICE during the Biden administration. “It is designed to hold more people for longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fleischaker believes ICE has historically been underfunded. But she says the bill as written “is so significant and so extreme. What they’re trying to enable … I don’t think it is within the imagination of the American people when they voted for Donald Trump.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isacson of WOLA adds that the actions occurring now will multiply. “Plainclothes people using rough tactics and covering their faces to take people off the streets and sort of muscle them into vehicles,” he says. “This is going to be common. And it’s going to become much more common to see that all around the country military bases may have detention facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘What are the chances my deportation flight will make a wrong turn?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“I am anguished. I have not heard anything about my son.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late in May, NPR began receiving messages from Vivian Ortega, a mother in Venezuela, regarding her son, Jhonkleiver Ortega.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jhonkleiver Ortega came to the U.S. three years ago and was working in construction. He was picked up while driving in November 2024 for not having a license, which under Florida state law is not available to immigrants without legal status. She told us she had sold her house in Venezuela to pay for his $7,000 bond in January. When he went to his next court hearing in February, he was detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vivian had heard from him infrequently, and she was terrified “he was barely eating in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data trackers and policy experts say the Trump administration’s goal of deporting one million migrants a year is so high that encouraging self-deportation is paramount. “The fact that [detention] is often so unsafe and unhealthy leads me to believe that there’s also a desire to wear people down,” says Isacson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-profile flights — with migrants sent to the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba, and to El Salvador’s notorious detention center CECOT and, more recently, a flight headed to South Sudan — have sent a strong message. For Vivian, the possibility was a source of constant anguish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 3, NPR was able to locate Jhonkleiver Ortega at Glades Detention Center in Florida. He had been to immigration court the day before. NPR was given permission by the family to record his conversation with his mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They told me they had to review my asylum case,” Ortega told his mother. “They told me I have to send proof that I was tortured in Venezuela. And in four months they would give me an answer. And I said I can’t anymore. It’s been months of this. They barely feed us here. I can’t anymore. I asked to be deported. This week or next I will be on a flight to Venezuela. If they give me a call from Louisiana I’ll call you before the flight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What?” his mother asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked the judge what are the chances that my flight will get lost and accidentally end up in another country? And she said if that happens you call the deporter. Or email me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>If you have immigration tips you can contact our tip line, on Whatsapp and Signal: 202-713-6697 or reporter Jasmine Garsd: jgarsd@npr.org \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They defecate in front of each other, they eat, they sleep on stone floors. It’s really inhumane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say this situation is playing out nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have seen a rapid deterioration over the last few months,” says Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director at the nonprofit advocacy group Detention Watch Network. “We’re hearing reports … that there isn’t enough food.” She says she’s increasingly been hearing accounts from people in detention going hungry. “I’ve heard people use the word ‘starving.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/ice-acting-director-says-9-people-died-in-custody-since-january/3567956\">nine deaths in ICE detention since January\u003c/a>, which is on track to be the deadliest year \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting\">since 2020\u003c/a>. At least three of those deaths have been in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Major expansion of detention facilities coming\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is promising to increase the rate of arrests of immigrants to 3,000 people a day. “President Trump is going to keep pushing to get that number up higher each and every single day,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told Fox News \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJNXsOqFSZs&list=RDNSMJNXsOqFSZs&start_radio=1\">last week\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller was discussing the sweeping budget bill passed by the House and now before the Senate. It would provide $75 billion over the next couple of years in additional funding for ICE, including $45 billion for detention facilities and $14.4 billion for removal operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can have, permanently, the safest, strongest, most secure system in American history,” Miller told the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigrant advocates warn the measure will expand mass detention and surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that it is not designed to increase the removals of people who are not legally allowed to be here,” says Deborah Fleischaker, former acting chief of staff for ICE during the Biden administration. “It is designed to hold more people for longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fleischaker believes ICE has historically been underfunded. But she says the bill as written “is so significant and so extreme. What they’re trying to enable … I don’t think it is within the imagination of the American people when they voted for Donald Trump.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isacson of WOLA adds that the actions occurring now will multiply. “Plainclothes people using rough tactics and covering their faces to take people off the streets and sort of muscle them into vehicles,” he says. “This is going to be common. And it’s going to become much more common to see that all around the country military bases may have detention facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘What are the chances my deportation flight will make a wrong turn?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“I am anguished. I have not heard anything about my son.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late in May, NPR began receiving messages from Vivian Ortega, a mother in Venezuela, regarding her son, Jhonkleiver Ortega.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jhonkleiver Ortega came to the U.S. three years ago and was working in construction. He was picked up while driving in November 2024 for not having a license, which under Florida state law is not available to immigrants without legal status. She told us she had sold her house in Venezuela to pay for his $7,000 bond in January. When he went to his next court hearing in February, he was detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vivian had heard from him infrequently, and she was terrified “he was barely eating in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data trackers and policy experts say the Trump administration’s goal of deporting one million migrants a year is so high that encouraging self-deportation is paramount. “The fact that [detention] is often so unsafe and unhealthy leads me to believe that there’s also a desire to wear people down,” says Isacson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-profile flights — with migrants sent to the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba, and to El Salvador’s notorious detention center CECOT and, more recently, a flight headed to South Sudan — have sent a strong message. For Vivian, the possibility was a source of constant anguish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 3, NPR was able to locate Jhonkleiver Ortega at Glades Detention Center in Florida. He had been to immigration court the day before. NPR was given permission by the family to record his conversation with his mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They told me they had to review my asylum case,” Ortega told his mother. “They told me I have to send proof that I was tortured in Venezuela. And in four months they would give me an answer. And I said I can’t anymore. It’s been months of this. They barely feed us here. I can’t anymore. I asked to be deported. This week or next I will be on a flight to Venezuela. If they give me a call from Louisiana I’ll call you before the flight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What?” his mother asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I asked the judge what are the chances that my flight will get lost and accidentally end up in another country? And she said if that happens you call the deporter. Or email me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>If you have immigration tips you can contact our tip line, on Whatsapp and Signal: 202-713-6697 or reporter Jasmine Garsd: jgarsd@npr.org \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said countries could be added to or removed from the list, based on whether they comply with U.S. security requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the proclamation, Trump reiterated part of a Jan. 20 executive order, saying “it is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUHm8XZ0Nvo\">a video message\u003c/a>, Trump tied the ban to the recent attack by an Egyptian man on a group of people holding a vigil in Boulder, Colorado, for Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Egypt is not on the travel ban list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attack “has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted,” he said. “We don’t want them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ban is set to take effect Monday, June 9, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Our country is better than this’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla called the plan discriminatory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This senseless, prejudicial policy is an abuse of power that also threatens U.S. citizen relatives from the targeted countries,” he said in a statement. “Our country is better than this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many advocates said that — while the list of banned countries is broader than the one announced in the early days of Trump’s first term, which focused on predominantly Muslim countries — this ban targets countries with “Black and Brown” inhabitants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the same administration that deports Black immigrants only to import White refugees from South Africa under the false claim of genocide,’’ said Guerline Jozef, executive director of the San Diego-based Haitian Bridge Alliance. “Once again, U.S. immigration policy is being weaponized to deny entry, dignity and basic human rights to people from countries that have long borne the brunt of colonialism, Western intervention and economic extraction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The libertarian Cato Institute said the annual chance of being murdered by a terrorist from one of the banned countries from 1975 to the end of 2024 was vanishingly small — about 1 in 13.9 billion per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cato analyst Alex Nowrasteh called the ban ineffective and a waste of resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The United States government has a responsibility to keep terrorists and criminals out of the country and to remove those who make it through,” he said. “However, the government should pursue a rational and evidence-based approach when evaluating the threat posed by foreign nationals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, immigrant advocates and resettlement organizations were especially concerned about the impact of the ban on the tens of thousands of Afghans the U.S. admitted on temporary parole after airlifting them out of Kabul as the Taliban took over in 2021. Some have received asylum, which provides a path to legal permanent residence, but many others are still in the process of applying. And most are still desperately trying to bring their spouses and children to join them in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The travel ban will break our country’s promise for a safe future in the United States for all Afghans who worked alongside and kept safe United States military personnel in Afghanistan,” said Robin Mencher, executive director of Jewish Family and Community Services of the East Bay, which has resettled more than 2,300 Afghans since 2021, with many applications still in the pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paris Etemadi Scott, legal director with the Pars Equality Center in San Jose, said she is hearing from many Afghan asylees by email and phone, anxious to know how the travel ban will affect their relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our immediate biggest fear right now is for families of Afghans who are still stuck in Afghanistan,” she said. \u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>I have families who, finally, after three or four years’ wait, just got their interview to be processed to come and join their spouse here. I have a family of seven, a spouse and six children, who don’t know whether they fall within this ban or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Legal challenges\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The first travel ban, which Trump implemented by executive order in January 2017 with no advance notice, caused chaos at airports, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/19/us/politics/homeland-security-travel-ban-inspector-general.html\">border officials were caught off guard\u003c/a> and travelers with valid visas were \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11301672/girl-12-caught-in-trump-ban-to-reunite-with-california-family\">stuck in transit\u003c/a>, turned back or stranded inside airports.

That version applied to individuals from Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, plus government officials from Venezuela. It was supposed to include a mechanism for citizens from banned countries to request a waiver permitting them to travel to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11763562/federal-judge-in-s-f-allows-challenge-to-travel-ban-visa-waiver-program-to-proceed\">the process was unclear, and most applications were denied\u003c/a>. Pars Equality Center sued and won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Joe Biden \u003ca href=\"https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/proclamation-ending-discriminatory-bans-on-entry-to-the-united-states/\">rescinded the ban o\u003c/a>n his first day in office in 2021, calling it “a stain on our national conscience.” But it wasn’t until last May that \u003ca href=\"https://parsequalitycenter.org/2024/05/15/travel-ban-victims-reach-landmark-agreement-for-redress/\">a federal judge cleared the way\u003c/a> for 25,000 people from affected countries to submit new visa applications, with fees waived, as a result of the Pars lawsuit. Scott said the new travel ban could do away with that access for many.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, she said, Pars Equality Center and other immigrant advocacy organizations are looking for clarification of the terms of the new ban — and considering whether to challenge it in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Alex Padilla called the plan discriminatory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This senseless, prejudicial policy is an abuse of power that also threatens U.S. citizen relatives from the targeted countries,” he said in a statement. “Our country is better than this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many advocates said that — while the list of banned countries is broader than the one announced in the early days of Trump’s first term, which focused on predominantly Muslim countries — this ban targets countries with “Black and Brown” inhabitants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the same administration that deports Black immigrants only to import White refugees from South Africa under the false claim of genocide,’’ said Guerline Jozef, executive director of the San Diego-based Haitian Bridge Alliance. “Once again, U.S. immigration policy is being weaponized to deny entry, dignity and basic human rights to people from countries that have long borne the brunt of colonialism, Western intervention and economic extraction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The libertarian Cato Institute said the annual chance of being murdered by a terrorist from one of the banned countries from 1975 to the end of 2024 was vanishingly small — about 1 in 13.9 billion per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cato analyst Alex Nowrasteh called the ban ineffective and a waste of resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The United States government has a responsibility to keep terrorists and criminals out of the country and to remove those who make it through,” he said. “However, the government should pursue a rational and evidence-based approach when evaluating the threat posed by foreign nationals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, immigrant advocates and resettlement organizations were especially concerned about the impact of the ban on the tens of thousands of Afghans the U.S. admitted on temporary parole after airlifting them out of Kabul as the Taliban took over in 2021. Some have received asylum, which provides a path to legal permanent residence, but many others are still in the process of applying. And most are still desperately trying to bring their spouses and children to join them in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The travel ban will break our country’s promise for a safe future in the United States for all Afghans who worked alongside and kept safe United States military personnel in Afghanistan,” said Robin Mencher, executive director of Jewish Family and Community Services of the East Bay, which has resettled more than 2,300 Afghans since 2021, with many applications still in the pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paris Etemadi Scott, legal director with the Pars Equality Center in San Jose, said she is hearing from many Afghan asylees by email and phone, anxious to know how the travel ban will affect their relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our immediate biggest fear right now is for families of Afghans who are still stuck in Afghanistan,” she said. \u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>I have families who, finally, after three or four years’ wait, just got their interview to be processed to come and join their spouse here. I have a family of seven, a spouse and six children, who don’t know whether they fall within this ban or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Legal challenges\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The first travel ban, which Trump implemented by executive order in January 2017 with no advance notice, caused chaos at airports, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/19/us/politics/homeland-security-travel-ban-inspector-general.html\">border officials were caught off guard\u003c/a> and travelers with valid visas were \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11301672/girl-12-caught-in-trump-ban-to-reunite-with-california-family\">stuck in transit\u003c/a>, turned back or stranded inside airports.

That version applied to individuals from Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, plus government officials from Venezuela. It was supposed to include a mechanism for citizens from banned countries to request a waiver permitting them to travel to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11763562/federal-judge-in-s-f-allows-challenge-to-travel-ban-visa-waiver-program-to-proceed\">the process was unclear, and most applications were denied\u003c/a>. Pars Equality Center sued and won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Joe Biden \u003ca href=\"https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/proclamation-ending-discriminatory-bans-on-entry-to-the-united-states/\">rescinded the ban o\u003c/a>n his first day in office in 2021, calling it “a stain on our national conscience.” But it wasn’t until last May that \u003ca href=\"https://parsequalitycenter.org/2024/05/15/travel-ban-victims-reach-landmark-agreement-for-redress/\">a federal judge cleared the way\u003c/a> for 25,000 people from affected countries to submit new visa applications, with fees waived, as a result of the Pars lawsuit. Scott said the new travel ban could do away with that access for many.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, she said, Pars Equality Center and other immigrant advocacy organizations are looking for clarification of the terms of the new ban — and considering whether to challenge it in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And the Border Patrol, which is part of CBP, polices the land borders in between the official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar to ICE, CBP officers may have “police” written prominently on their uniform. “U.S. Customs and Border Protection” may be written on their sleeve or on their back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal law grants additional powers to CBP within \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone\">a wide border zone\u003c/a> that the government has defined as 100 air miles from an “external boundary” of the U.S. Within that zone — which \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801962/immigration-advocates-call-sending-border-patrol-agents-to-sanctuary-cities-a-scare-tactic\">covers most coastal cities in the country, as well as the entire Bay Area\u003c/a> — \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10559\">CBP officers and Border Patrol agents can stop and question people\u003c/a> and board vessels, buses and trains to search for unauthorized immigrants without a warrant.

They have to have a reason to suspect that you’re violating an immigration law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, both ICE and CBP also require a judicial warrant to enter a private property and an administrative warrant to make an arrest (more on this below.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Q.

They have to have a reason to suspect that you’re violating an immigration law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, both ICE and CBP also require a judicial warrant to enter a private property and an administrative warrant to make an arrest (more on this below.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Q.
