Pets are collateral victims of ICE enforcement
During the second Trump (Trump-2) administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported more than 605,000 individuals and, with intimidation, has convinced approximately two million more to “self-deport” under an administration program euphemistically incorporating that term. In addition, at any time, ICE holds tens of thousands, not yet deported, in arrest or detention facilities. Many of these had pets in the U.S. when ICE took enforcement action. This article addresses the consequences of ICE actions on those pets.
