Arrests Soar as Immigration Tactics Shift | Orlando News

Federal immigration agents are hitting new arrest highs with aggressive tactics—snagging academics at airports and setting up checkpoints in national forests—but still fall short of the administration’s daily 2,000-arrest goal. Even award-winning educators are being detained for expired visas, sparking debate over who’s truly targeted: mostly people caught in bureaucratic limbo, not criminals. A looming September rule will tighten visa limits, risking billions in lost economic output by 2035 as top talent may flee. Airports offer easy targets since IDs are already verified, while enforcement in places like North Carolina’s popular creek has ignited protests from locals and religious groups. Despite claims of targeting criminals, stats show most arrested have only immigration violations—not criminal records.
