In January 2026, an article reported on escalating ICE activity in the U.S., drawing parallels to Palestinian experiences. The article highlights two fatal shootings in Minneapolis during anti-immigration raids and the use of a child as bait to detain his asylum-seeking father in Texas. ICE detained thousands of children in the past year. The author notes that 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025. The article emphasizes the fear and insecurity created within migrant communities due to ICE's actions, comparing it to the violence experienced by Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, where over 1,100 Palestinians have been killed in just over two years. The author also notes that a large percentage of those detained by ICE have no criminal record.
