Federal immigration agents conducted many street arrests of immigrants in New York and New Jersey, with over 93% of those targeted being from Latin American countries. These arrests happened quickly and often in residential neighborhoods, leading to lawsuits that claim the actions may violate the U.S. Constitution.
Key Facts
An investigation found that over 93% of immigrants arrested on the streets in the New York-New Jersey area were Latino.
Latinos make up about 66% of undocumented immigrants in the region, so they were arrested disproportionately.
These street arrests often occurred suddenly in everyday situations like walking a dog or buying groceries.
ICE agents sometimes arrested people who only looked like their target suspects but were actually different individuals.
There were reports of use of force, including Tasers and broken car windows, and claims of racial slurs during some arrests.
Between October 2025 and March 2026, 430 street arrests were identified through lawsuits challenging the arrests’ legality.
Many arrests took place in Latino neighborhoods, including 81 arrests inside New York City, with Corona, Queens seeing the highest number.
Lawyers argue these arrests violate constitutional rights, and some federal judges have criticized ICE’s methods as illegal.
