Trump’s mass deportations are only possible with racial profiling

The City reports 430 ICE street arrests in the New York metro area from October to mid-March, with 93% involving Latinos.

Court records suggest agents often stopped people while looking for someone else and used appearance, accent, or ethnicity as cues.

The pattern points to broader Trump-era deportation tactics and the expansion of immigration enforcement across federal and local agencies.

The findings raise concerns that stepped-up enforcement in Latino neighborhoods may amount to racial profiling and could shape national practice.
