Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has broadened its enforcement operations inside United States airports, increasingly targeting travelers, according to immigration attorneys.
Attorneys representing affected travelers note that federal agents are operating at transit hubs.
However, the expansion of these operations to new targets has drawn scrutiny from legal professionals tracking changes in federal immigration enforcement practices.

Attorneys working on these cases indicate that travelers are intercepted at airports.
Reports from Forbes outline how coordination with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has facilitated the identification and flagging of targeted individuals, opening a new operational front that bridges aviation security and immigration enforcement.
