After the Minnesota surge, ICE is moving to a quieter enforcement approach

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is shifting from aggressive street-level enforcement to operations that depend more heavily on cooperation with local law enforcement agencies. Even in Florida, where sheriffs are legally required to work with ICE, some conservative sheriffs are expressing reluctance to pursue immigrants without criminal records. The move signals a potential recalibration of ICE's enforcement strategy following heightened immigration operations in Minnesota. This approach relies on local authorities to identify and hand over undocumented immigrants, rather than ICE conducting independent urban sweeps.
