ICE agents detained an immigrant married to a U.S. citizen during an enforcement operation in New Jersey, according to the family’s attorney. Video of the arrest shows the man asking, “What did I do?” as agents escort him into custody, while legal representatives say they have begun assisting the family and are seeking additional information about the case.
The detention has drawn renewed attention to immigration enforcement involving spouses of U.S. citizens, with immigration attorneys saying similar cases appear to be increasing. The circumstances surrounding the arrest and the individual’s immigration status have not been fully disclosed, and legal proceedings are expected to determine the next steps in the case.
