A former senior Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official has raised sharp concerns about current U.S. immigration raids, warning they are being driven by political pressure rather than public safety.
Darius Reeves, a former ICE Field Office Director who retired after 20 years with the agency, told Reuters that enforcement tactics have shifted away from targeting serious criminals toward mass operations aimed at boosting arrest numbers. Reeves criticized highly visible raids at locations like home improvement stores, saying they often result in the detention of undocumented day laborers rather than violent offenders.
“Where is the gang banger in all this? Where are the guns?” Reeves asked, questioning the strategy and warning of falling morale inside ICE. He also said pressure for higher arrest numbers is coming from the White House through the Department of Homeland Security, with leadership facing consequences if targets are not met.
