Claims of ICE agents' misconduct are rising. Can they be held responsible?

Claims of ICE Agents' Misconduct on the Rise

Claims of misconduct by ICE agents are increasing, according to David Bier of the CATO Institute.

Immigration raids have risen nationwide, with agents patrolling city streets to detain and deport record numbers of people presumed to be in the U.S. However, this enhanced enforcement effort has led to alleged assaults, car crashes, and the use of less-lethal munitions against protesters, as well as warrantless arrests.

Videos and personal accounts on social media detail immigration agents from the Department of Homeland Security allegedly harming people in the Chicago area during Operation Midway Blitz.

Images, sometimes from ICE's own accounts, show agents drawing guns on drivers, arresting people in their homes, and striking a pastor in the head with a pepper bullet while he prayed.

Author's summary: ICE agents' misconduct claims are rising amid increased immigration raids.
