Steve Yale-Loehr Quoted on ICE Enforcement Shift

Steve was quoted by Newsday in These Long Island Brothers Came to the U.S. as Kids. ICE Deported Them to a Country They Hardly Know. He noted that arresting someone when they show up for a routine U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement check-in was rare until the second Trump administration. In past administrations, including during Trump’s first term, he explained, resources were focused on locating criminals. But immigrants like the Long Island brothers are easier to catch because they had given the government their names and addresses and attended their check-ins. “Because of this increase in going after the low-hanging fruit, they’re not going after as many criminal aliens as they would otherwise. So we may be missing some of the worst of the worst, as President Trump characterizes them.”
