People are being taken at traffic stops, at ICE appointments, at the door of a federal building, inside a home and in multi-day operations in more than one region, not in door-to-door sweeps

Every arrest this site has verified this month happened one at a time: at a traffic stop, at a scheduled ICE check-in, or at, outside or inside a home, a workplace or a school gate — not in a door-to-door sweep. In West York, PA, a stop over a light and an expired inspection became ICE custody because of an old unpaid speeding-ticket warrant (York Daily Record, Sep 4). Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said ICE has made 380 arrests in Springfield; his account did not say how many of those people were Haitian, what period the count covers, or how many are still held (Cincinnati Enquirer, Sep 4). Dozens of people with Springfield ties are booked into the Butler County Jail and other Ohio facilities, by the paper’s own review of jail records (Dayton Daily News, Sep 15). People who are released commonly leave wearing a GPS ankle monitor; an advocate says one woman’s doctor asked in writing that hers be removed and it was not (WYSO, Sep 7). Those sent a report-in letter describe an appointment that ends in a monitor or in detention (Presbyterian News Service, Sep 11). On the Massachusetts South Coast that pattern arrived all at once and did not stop at one city or at two days: agents stopped cars across New Bedford and the towns beside it on Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 21 and 22, taking people on their way to work with no notice to the local police (The New Bedford Light, Sep 22), and by Friday the week’s arrests were being counted across New Bedford, Dartmouth and Fall River (Fall River Reporter, Sep 25). The pattern has not stayed in Ohio or Massachusetts: community groups say ICE operated in Flatbush, Brooklyn between Sept. 28 and Oct. 1, and New York City Council Member Rita Joseph confirmed that one person was taken into custody there (PIX11, Oct. 2). In Manhattan, amNewYork reported on Oct. 1 that arrests have continued inside 26 Federal Plaza on floors the Sept. 30 court order does not reach, including during ICE check-ins. Those are separate places and separate counts, and they are not to be added together. No outlet has confirmed a door-to-door neighborhood raid in Springfield, Little Haiti, Boston or on the South Coast — those arrests were vehicle stops and street arrests, reported near fish houses, grocery stores, gas stations and a mall staging area, inside a coordinated multi-day operation. One more doorway, verified this week: MPR News reported on Oct. 5 that in Minnesota people have been re-arrested inside or just outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building within minutes of a judge ordering their release, and that ICE and DHS did not answer its request for comment. That reporting names no Haitian; it is noted here because an ordered release is not the same thing as a person being out of the building. Two doorways this card did not reach have been added to the record since it was last written, and both name no Haitian and no Syrian: on Thursday, Oct. 8 an ICE officer shot Oscar Belgal, a 28-year-old Dominican national, in a car in Marble Hill, Manhattan, and the Bronx district attorney has opened an investigation (THE CITY, Oct. 12); and on Saturday, Oct. 10 in northwest Houston an ICE vehicle ran over the legs of Miguel Parra-Hernandez during an operation the agency says was aimed at a different man, with Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare saying on Oct. 13 that he may charge the officer with aggravated assault (KPRC 2 and Houston Press, Oct. 13). Those are street encounters in which people were injured, and they have now happened in three separate cities: CNN reported on Oct. 25 that on Tuesday, Oct. 20 an ICE vehicle struck Antonio Moreida, 37, as he filmed unmarked vehicles on a residential street in Woodland, California, and that Woodland police opened a criminal investigation after saying the video contradicts Homeland Security’s account that he jumped onto the hood. That reporting names no Haitian and no Syrian. These are not arrests and they are not to be added to any count above. A doorway this card had not named, verified Oct. 15: Vilès Dorsainvil, executive director of Springfield's Haitian Community Help and Support Center, told The New Yorker that a dentist telephoned the center and asked him to urge people not to come to him, because the dentist had seen ICE pick up three people in his own parking lot (The New Yorker, Edwidge Danticat, Oct. 15). That is a medical office's car park, which is neither a traffic stop nor a check-in, and the dentist is not named and no agency has confirmed those three arrests. It is here because a doorway this card leaves out reads as an all-clear for it. A doorway this card had not named, verified Oct. 16: in a lawsuit filed Oct. 15 the State of California says ICE officers have been taking people in and around its state superior courthouses — in hallways, lobbies and parking lots, sometimes after waiting in a court parking lot for days — and that this continued after a federal judge vacated the policy in June, with at least 60 reported incidents and 60 civil arrests at superior courts statewide across July, August and September (State of California v. ICE, No. 2:26-cv-12026, C.D. Cal., Oct. 15; complaint read in full). Those are the state's allegations in a court filing, no agency has answered them, and the filing names no Haitian and no Syrian. It is here because a state courthouse — traffic court, family court, small claims — is a building this card had not named, and because an order about immigration courts does not reach it. These figures are not to be added to any count above. A doorway this card had not named, verified Oct. 18: in a letter dated Friday, Oct. 16, New York City's mayor and other elected officials told the owners of private parking lots and garages that ICE has been using their properties as staging grounds for its operations — naming two bank parking lots on Northern Boulevard in Queens and a garage on Morton Street in Manhattan — and that the city rule barring outside agencies from staging on city property does not reach private lots (Associated Press and Spectrum News NY1, both Oct. 16, each quoting the letter). Those are the officials' own allegations, no federal agency has confirmed them, and the letter names no Haitian and no Syrian. It is here because a commercial car park is a place this card had not named, and because a city rule that covers only city property reads as an all-clear for the private lot beside it. These are not arrests and are not to be added to any count above. A doorway this card had not named, verified Oct. 22, and the first one where the person taken is Haitian: in a release datelined Indio, California and dated Tuesday, Oct. 20, Customs and Border Protection said that during joint commercial-vehicle operations at the Highway 86 checkpoint through August and September, Border Patrol agents arrested a Haitian national "following the revocation of Temporary Protected Status" and transferred the person to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (cbp.gov, Oct. 20; read again in the Imperial Valley Press, Oct. 21). A fixed highway checkpoint is neither a traffic stop nor a check-in, and this card had not named one. The release gives no name and no date for that arrest, one arrest is not a pattern, and these figures are not to be added to any count above. A doorway this card had not named, verified Oct. 23: residents of a building at 75 Lenox Road in Flatbush, Brooklyn told amNewYork that several ICE agents identified themselves as NYPD officers to get into the building, and then at the apartment door, before taking Roberto Lamour — a Haitian immigrant — out of his own apartment on Oct. 3 (amNewYork, Dean Moses, Oct. 22). Those are residents’ accounts given to a reporter; the New York Police Department answered the paper on Friday, Oct. 23 that it “had no knowledge of or involvement in the incident in question,” which is the department’s account of its own records and neither confirms nor refutes what the residents describe; the paper does not say it asked ICE, and no federal agency has confirmed any of it. It is here because every arrest described above happened at a stop, at an appointment or outside a building, and a card that says "outside a home" reads as an all-clear for the inside of one. Nobody has said whether Lamour held TPS, one account is not a pattern, and this is not to be added to any count above. A doorway this card had not named, verified Oct. 24, and it is a benefits appointment rather than an enforcement one: the Associated Press reported that Homeland Security agents arrested Pamele Arbues Line, 56, immediately after her naturalization interview in San Diego on Oct. 15, one of more than two dozen legal permanent residents charged in California on Oct. 19 over voter registrations and what the government says they said on citizenship paperwork. That reporting names no Haitian and no Syrian. It is here because a naturalization or other benefits interview is a building this card did not name, and a card that lists ICE check-ins reads as an all-clear for an appointment a person is keeping in order to apply for something. These are charges, not arrests in a removal operation, and they are not to be added to any count above. The agency has since put its own figure on that South Coast operation, verified Oct. 27: ICE Boston says 82 people were arrested over three days beginning Sept. 21 in New Bedford and Fall River, and it identified only seven of them, saying nothing about how many of the 82 had convictions, pending charges or no record at all (The New Bedford Light, Oct. 26; The National News Desk, Oct. 20). That is the agency’s count of its own operation, and it sits beside the 34 advocates had documented by Sept. 24 and Governor Maura Healey’s figure of about 40 — four counters at four moments, none of them a roster, and they are not to be added.
