Deaths climb, helicopters roar, and fear spreads, inside Trump’s deadly new deportation drive.
We hardly see any days when the American immigration system is not seen in the headlines, especially during the reign of President Donald Trump, and once again it has come back, and again not for a good reason. Numerous people have died in ICE custody…. According to chilling new figures shared by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), 20 migrants have died in ICE detention since Trump took office, the highest single-year toll in decades. By comparison, there were 24 deaths total during Biden’s four years in power.
The surge has sparked national outrage and fear, as reports of violent raids, tear gas, and helicopters flood cities like Chicago, where residents say ICE’s crackdown feels like “a war zone.” They further stated, “They’re Making It a War Zone.” In a fiery interview with CNN, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker blasted the Trump administration’s tactics, saying ICE has “turned Chicago into a battlefield.”
