Detroit Residents Concerned as ICE Activity Reports Emerge

Concerns are mounting in U.S. cities like Detroit and Baltimore as President Donald Trump's recent immigration policies prompt fears of increased deportation activities. Detroit Councilwoman Gabriela Santiago-Romero reported unverified sightings of ICE agents conducting raids in Southwest Detroit, an area with a significant Hispanic population. The councilwoman is actively documenting these reports and educating residents about their rights during such encounters. Meanwhile, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott stated that local law enforcement will not enforce federal immigration laws and is exploring legal options to protect residents. Despite the heightened anxiety, ICE has not confirmed these activities, and local officials have not been able to substantiate the videos or reports of ICE presence. Trump's executive orders have rolled back previous protections at sensitive locations, raising concerns about the safety and stability of immigrant communities.
