New York is suing to restore the money, which was earmarked by the US for mass transit security.

The viral clip became a rallying point this week for critics of President Donald Trump's deportation machine, which has spread to multiple U.S. cities and swept up citizens in the process. For Mike Peregudov, the co-founder of e-bike subscription service Whizz, it was a visceral representation of the abject fear delivery workers have described to his team for weeks in Chicago.

A Reagan-appointed judge has issued a scathing ruling rebuking the Trump administration's targeting of pro-Palestine students. Judge William G. Young called the case AAUP v. Rubio "perhaps the most important ever to fall within the jurisdiction of this district court" and ruled that contrary to the State Department's claims, "non-citizens lawfully present here in [the] United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us."

After days of clashes between federal officers and protesters at an immigration jail in his home state of Illinois, Democratic US senator Dick Durbin on Sunday renewed demands to meet with Trump administration immigration officials.

She and her mother had been on their way to drop off a jacket at the dry cleaners when they spotted a group of suspicious-looking men, watching intently from down the street. Sánchez-Gordon remembers her heart pounding with dread that the men were there to haul them away for being in the country without papers. Her mother grabbed her and they beelined back to their house. From their hiding place in a closet, they could hear loud knocks on their front door, Sánchez-Gordon recalled.

An ICE detainment was caught on camera at a San Jose nonprofit which has supported the immigrant community in the South Bay for nearly 50 years.

Investigations into trafficking and human exploitation have lost momentum because U.S. President Donald Trump's deportation campaign has absorbed resources from other agencies that previously focused on combating labor and sexual exploitation. Since Trump's return to the White House, detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants has become the top priority for many agencies that formerly investigated other crimes. According to data obtained by the CATO Institute, 42,153 personnel including 28,390 from federal law enforcement agencies have been redirected to assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Men in black t-shirts and skater shoes claiming to be law enforcement on Tuesday hustled a man out of an East San Jose nonprofit employment center, handcuffed him and drove off in an unmarked SUV.

"We've had several situations where we've had job sites raided, for lack of a better term... and it is a cause of concern," he said. "It's definitely affected the labor market in general," he added, with ripple effects beyond undocumented workers."There's a lot of folks that are here legally, that have relatives that may not be, and it's put everybody more in a defensive position," Davis said.

American agriculture relies on foreign workers, and they rely on the H-2A visa program to work legally in the United States. Despite a growing number of people applying for visa spots, the Trump administration has proposed cutting the division of the Department of Labor that enforces H-2A rules, leaving workers to choose between being vulnerable to ICE or to exploitation.
