ICE Detentions Surge At Dallas Check-Ins; Volunteers Report Daily Arrests

KERA documents a sharp rise in people being detained during routine check-ins at the Dallas ICE Field Office, with volunteers observing multiple detentions in a few hours and maintaining a daily presence to help families. Attorneys say migrants with paperwork in process are still getting held, while ICE says there’s no announced policy change. The local escalation mirrors national reports of arrests at immigration appointments and expanded short-term holds, heightening fear in North Texas immigrant communities.
