Driven by a massive funding boost from Congress, encouragement from the Supreme Court doing its best to uphold the mass deportation agenda, and by the hateful ravings of the pack of [neo]fascists in the White House, a massive surge in ICE raids led to the imprisonment of ten thousand children and adults in the first few days of July. More diffuse (and therefore harder to document) than the surges earlier in the year, these operations targeted cities and towns across the nation, including in Florida, Montana, California, and Wisconsin.

Voces de la Frontera hosted a press conference in Milwaukee, WI with testimony from victims of violent ICE arrests. ICE agents broke the windows of one vehicle, hauled the adults from the car, and left two small children alone in the back seat, surrounded by broken glass. A woman described being forced into a position where she couldn’t breathe for so long she was forced to bite the hand of the agent holding her to get him to let go. These are just a couple of examples; the stories of brutality are sickening and seemingly endless.
