Nationwide Protests Target U.S. Immigration Agency

Demonstrators gathered in cities across the United States over the past week. They were protesting against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. The agency enforces federal immigration laws. Protesters accuse it of cruel and inhumane treatment of migrants. They called for the government to abolish the agency. The coordinated protests show continued public debate over U.S. immigration policy. This follows recent increases in migrant arrivals at the southern border.
