Immigration

Newsweek - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) allegedly detained a man named Rafael Alambarrio, who was told he would have a green card within 60 days, his wife told her local newspaper. His attorney, Caitlin Twyman, told Newsweek that he has no criminal record and that historically, individuals under his circumstances would not have been detained by ICE. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security told Newsweek he “illegally entered” the U.S. and is expected to remain in ICE custody. NPR  -  Democrats want to mandate that immigration officers make arrests with a judicial warrant, NPR’s Ximena Bustillo tells Up First. They argue that DHS-issued administrative warrants, which are not signed by a judge, raise questions about violations of people’s constitutional rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. While some Republicans are interested in negotiating, others, like House Speaker Mike Johnson, have already discouraged it. Lawmakers also disagree on whether agents should wear face coverings. Democrats want to ban them, while the majority of Republicans oppose a ban.
