A year after Donald J. Trump entered office for the second time, protests against ICE and the changes in immigration policy are increasing nationwide. With the public deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the deaths of those in detention centers such as Geraldo Lunas Campos due to mistreatment and unsanitary conditions, people are standing up. Despite tension, the administration is continuing its efforts. As of January 8th, 2026, 68,900 people have been deported. Many other immigrants have also self-deported or are currently detained in detention centers.
