HSI-ICE Checkpoint Sweeps D.C.; Drivers Asked About Immigration Status After Trump Deployment

Nearly two dozen HSI and ICE ERO agents joined local authorities in a checkpoint at 14th and W Streets NW, stopping drivers for minor violations and, according to witnesses, asking about immigration status. At least two people were detained as crowds protested. The operation follows President Trump’s recent deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard units across Washington, D.C., signaling an escalation of immigration-linked enforcement activity in the nation’s capital.
