ICE Under Trump

This episode of Up First features a segment from NPR's ThruLine podcast, which examines the history and evolution of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The segment focuses on the changes that have occurred since the beginning of President Trump's second term, including increased immigration arrests, the use of expedited removal processes, and reports of poor conditions at ICE detention centers. It also discusses the significant increase in funding for immigration enforcement and the potential implications of this funding. The episode features insights from Roger Werner, a founding member of ICE, and Peter Markowitz, an immigration attorney and law professor, who offer differing perspectives on the current state of ICE and its impact.
