ICE Uses Driver's License Validity Rule to Detain Migrant Workers

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is leveraging a driver's license validity regulation to identify and detain migrant workers, potentially affecting nearly 200,000 foreign-born drivers. The rule, which restricts license issuance based on immigration status, is raising concerns among migrant communities about increased enforcement. This marks a notable shift in enforcement tactics, using administrative data for immigration control.
