US Immigration and Customs Enforcement

A Cuban man has spent a year in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention in El Paso, and his case is now being used to test the reach of a Supreme Court ruling on immigration detention. The report examines how long the government can hold people and what the ruling means for others in similar situations.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reportedly been directed to stop arresting immigrants without criminal records. The directive would mark a shift in enforcement priorities, focusing the agency's operations on people with serious criminal backgrounds rather than broad sweeps. Reaction is split between those welcoming a less aggressive approach to immigration enforcement and critics calling it a rollback of border policy.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to buy robotic dogs, according to an ABC News report. The quadruped robots would potentially be used in enforcement operations, a prospect already drawing attention from observers of immigration policy and surveillance technology. Critics have raised concerns in the past about expanding high-tech tools in immigration enforcement, while agencies have argued such equipment improves safety for officers in the field.
