Title

While You Slept, Something Was Activated… ICE Goes Operational Nationwide

Description

Reports claim ICE has received broader authority to detain certain individuals already in the U.S. under refugee or parole-based entry programs—but is this really a new policy? In this breakdown, we examine how the Department of Homeland Security has operationalized an existing legal mechanism tied to national security reassessments, why the timing matters amid rising global tensions, and how the current DHS funding standoff may have created an unintended oversight gap in Washington. Is this a sweeping expansion—or simply enforcement catching up with the law?

One word: ENFORCEMENT or OVERREACH?
