David Urban, a senior adviser on Trump’s 2016 campaign and now CNN’s senior political commentator, said the daily images of masked ICE agents violently manhandling people—coupled with the shooting of Minneapolis woman Renee Good—threaten to tank support for Trump ahead of the crucial midterm elections.

The number of ICE detention centers exploded in 2025, driven by an increase in the number of county jails holding immigrants for ICE, but also in the arrival of alternative sites like Camp East Montana on Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas; or the Florida-run "Alligator Alcatraz" outside Miami.

President Donald Trump visited a Ford auto factory and spoke at the Detroit Economic Club. Hundreds protested, marching through the streets asking for impeachment and ICE out of the state.

President Donald Trump vowed "day of reckoning" for Minnesota as more ICE agents head to Minneapolis amid fraud crackdown.

The former president's son called stars like Mark Ruffalo and Ariana Grande "clowns" after they wore anti-ICE pins honoring shooting victims at Sunday's awards show.

Hours before the president was set to arrive, demonstrators rallied at the Spirit of Detroit calling on local elected leaders to stymie Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the city.

"The View" host Joy Behar claimed that President Donald Trump wanted anti-ICE protests to create chaos so he can declare martial law and cancel the 2026 midterm elections.

The protest stemmed from the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good during a confrontation with ICE agents.

Members of the Trump administration, including Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, have come to the defense of the agent who shot Good. They have asserted that rhetoric criticizing ICE agents and law enforcement has created a hostile environment for agents who police the country’s streets.
