Federal agents round up undocumented migrants across South Florida amid nationwide raids
Federal agents began rounding up undocumented immigrants in South Florida over the weekend as the Trump Administration’s nationwide immigration crackdown continues, the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations confirmed.
The agency’s Miami office on Sunday posted several photos on X of people being detained, with the caption, “Excellent collaboration today by @HSI_Miami, @EROMiami, and @TheJusticeDept and our other law enforcement partners enforcing U.S. #immigration laws and ensuring the safety of our communities.”
The raids follow similar roundups in other parts of the country since President Donald Trump was inaugurated last week and pledged to fulfill his campaign promise of mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
In an executive order Trump signed, he authorized not just Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents to conduct the raids, but U.S. Marshals, and agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
