ICE Expands Power Of US Agents To Arrest People Without Warrants Amid Trump's Immigration Crackdown: Report


(MENAFN- Live Mint) US agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo.

US President Donald Trump's border chief had said on January 29, 2026 that some federal agents could be withdrawn from Minneapolis, the northern US city that has become the flashpoint for the president's immigration crackdown.

The Trump administration, facing a public backlash over the shooting deaths of two Americans by federal agents in Minneapolis, also eased immigration operations in the northeastern state of Maine, news agency AFP reported.
